Serves: 4Prep: 10 minCook: 30 min
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- 100g sun-dried tomatoes, roughly chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 300ml chicken stock
- 200ml heavy cream
- 50g parmesan, finely grated
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp chili flakes
- small handful fresh basil leaves
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Pat chicken breasts dry and season generously with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden, then lift out and set aside — it won't be fully cooked yet.
- Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet and soften for 2 minutes, stirring, until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken stock and scrape up any browned bits from the pan. Stir in the cream, parmesan, oregano, and chilli flakes. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce begins to thicken slightly.
- Nestle the seared chicken back into the sauce. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover loosely, and cook for a further 10–12 minutes until the chicken is cooked through (internal temp 74°C / 165°F).
- Scatter fresh basil over the top and serve straight from the skillet.
