Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken is a quick and elegant dish featuring tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich parmesan cream sauce with garlic, herbs, and sun-dried tomatoes. It’s perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil), drained and chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup fresh spinach (optional)
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  3. Lower heat to medium, add minced garlic, and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  6. Stir in heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. If using, stir in fresh spinach and cook until wilted.
  8. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over the top, and let everything simmer for another 2–3 minutes.
  9. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot with your favorite side dish.

Notes

Use boneless chicken thighs or shrimp as a variation.For a lighter version, substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.Rehydrate sun-dried tomatoes ifusing dry-packed instead of oil-packed.Add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick.Pairs well with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread.
