Ingredients

3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil divided
4 8-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
to taste Kosher salt
to taste freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
to garnish torn fresh basil for serving

Instructions

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add chopped garlic, fresh thyme leaves, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over each piece. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2-3 more minutes until heated through.
Garnish with torn fresh basil and serve the chicken with its sauce over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.

Notes

For extra richness, add a few extra tablespoons of Parmesan cheese to the sauce before serving.
