Ingredients

Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 c. low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 c. finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 c. heavy cream
  • 1/4 c. finely grated Parmesan
  • Torn fresh basil, for serving

Directions

  1. Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 375°F. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, then season the chicken generously with salt and pepper and sear until it's a beautiful golden brown, about 5 minutes per side, before setting it aside on a plate.

  2. In the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil and sauté the garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes until they smell wonderful, about 1 minute. Stir in the broth, sun-dried tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan cheese, bring the sauce to a gentle simmer, and then nestle the chicken and its savory juices back into the pan.

  3. Carefully slide the skillet into the oven and bake until the chicken is tender and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165° on an instant-read thermometer, which should take about 10 to 12 minutes.

  4. Arrange your delicious chicken on a serving platter, spoon the rich, creamy sauce generously over the top, and finish with a sprinkle of fresh basil for a beautiful presentation.
