Ingredients
  

  • 1 ½ lbs boneless chicken thighs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth

Instructions
 

Season the Chicken

  1. Pat the chicken thighs dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

Sear the Chicken

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Sauté Garlic and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

  1. In the same pan, reduce heat to medium, add butter, and sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes.

Make the Sauce

  1. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, then whisk in the Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer for 2 minutes to thicken slightly. Add red pepper flakes if using.

Combine Everything

  1. Return the chicken thighs to the pan, spooning the sauce over them. Let simmer for another 5 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve and Enjoy

  1. Plate the chicken with extra sauce drizzled on top. Pair it with pasta, mashed potatoes, or crusty bread!
