Instructions
Sear the Chicken
Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with salt, pepper, and half of the Italian seasoning. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove chicken and set aside.
Saute Garlic and Tomatoes
In the same skillet reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 to 2 minutes stirring constantly until the garlic is fragrant and lightly golden.
Build the Cream Sauce
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the heavy cream and remaining Italian seasoning and stir to combine. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer over medium heat.
Add Parmesan and Return Chicken
Stir in the grated parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is smooth. Nestle the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet and spoon sauce over the tops.
Finish in the Oven
Transfer the skillet to an oven preheated to 375 degrees F and bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Garnish with fresh basil before serving.
