Prepare the Chicken:

• Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

• Sear the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Make the Sauce:

• In the same skillet, add a bit more oil if needed and sauté the minced garlic for 1 minute, until fragrant.

• Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.

• Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes (if using), and sun-dried tomatoes. Stir well and let the sauce simmer for 4-5 minutes, until slightly thickened.

Combine & Simmer:

• Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon some sauce over the top.

• Cover and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, until the chicken is fully cooked and infused with the creamy sauce.

Serve:

• Garnish with chopped basil or parsley and serve hot.

• Pairs beautifully with mashed potatoes, pasta, or a warm baguette.
