Equipment

  • 1 Large skillet
  • 1 Wooden spoon
  • 1 measuring cups

Ingredients
  

Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Sauce

  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup low-fat cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden on each side, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 2 minutes until garlic is fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and low-fat cream, stirring to combine. Add Parmesan cheese and stir until melted.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet, ensuring each piece is well-coated with sauce. Lower the heat and let simmer for 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
  • Plate the chicken and spoon additional sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh basil if desired.

Storage

  • Allow leftovers to cool completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
