Ingredients

For the Chicken

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts halved horizontally
  • 2-3 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the Cream Sauce

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4-5 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 ¼ cup chicken broth
  • 1 ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • ¾ cup sun dried tomatoes drained and chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Red pepper flakes for garnish (optional)
  • Fresh chopped parsley and basil leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Pat your chicken dry and season it generously.
  • Sear it in a hot skillet until golden and cooked through, then set aside.
  • In the same pan, melt butter, sauté the garlic, then stir in broth, cream, and parmesan. Let that simmer into saucy perfection.
  • Toss in your sun-dried tomatoes, lemon juice, seasonings, and that leftover chicken seasoning (if you have any). Taste and adjust as needed.
  • Add the chicken back in, spoon that creamy sauce over the top, and simmer for a few more minutes.
  • Sprinkle with parsley and basil, then serve over your carb of choice.
