Main Ingredients

4 pieces boneless skinless chicken breasts Tender and juicy; for a healthier option, swap with turkey breasts.
2 tablespoons olive oil Adds richness; avocado oil works too!
3 cloves garlic, minced A flavor powerhouse; replace with garlic powder if fresh isn't available.
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped Sweet and tangy; you can use fresh tomatoes for more flavor.
1 cup heavy cream Creamy goodness; substitute with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
1 cup chicken broth Adds depth; vegetable broth is a great alternative.
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning A blend of herbs; use individual dried herbs for freshness.
to taste salt and pepper Essential for seasoning; feel free to experiment.
enough for garnish fresh basil or parsley Adds a pop of color; could also use arugula.

Preparation

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned on both sides, about 6-7 minutes per side.
Remove the chicken and set aside.

Cooking

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes, sautéing for 1-2 minutes.
Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine.
Add Italian seasoning and bring to a simmer.
Return the chicken to the skillet and cook until the chicken is fully cooked through, about 5-10 minutes.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
