For the Chicken

Instructions

• Place 3 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts on cutting board. Trim chicken if needed, then pound chicken flat until all chicken breasts are same size and thickness. Pat chicken breasts dry on all sides with paper towels. Once dried, generously season chicken breasts with plenty of salt and freshly cracked black pepper.
• Place large skillet on stovetop over medium-high heat. When pan is warm, add 2 tablespoons olive oil and continue heating pan until oil is hot and shimmery, swirling and tilting skillet as needed to distribute oil across surface. Once oil is hot and shimmery, place seasoned chicken breasts in skillet. Sear chicken breasts 3 to 4 minutes, or until lightly golden in spots. Flip chicken breasts over and sear 3 to 4 minutes on other side.
• When chicken breasts are lightly golden on both sides, carefully transfer seared chicken breasts to plate and set aside. Do not drain skillet. Note: chicken should not be fully cooked-through at this point.
• Return skillet to stovetop and reduce heat to medium-low. When skillet has cooled slightly, add 2 tablespoons minced garlic. Sauté garlic 30 to 60 seconds, stirring often, or until garlic is just fragrant.
• When garlic is fragrant, add ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth to skillet. Stir to incorporate broth, making sure to scrape up any browned bits of chicken or garlic that may be stuck to bottom of skillet. Move skillet to cool stovetop burner. Let skillet cool 2 to 3 minutes, then add ½ cup heavy cream. Whisk heavy cream into chicken broth until fully incorporated.
• When cream and broth are fully incorporated, sprinkle ½ cup grated fresh parmesan cheese into mixture. Gently whisk parmesan into liquid until cheese is completely melted. Once cheese has melted, return skillet to burner over medium-low heat. Continue stirring 1 to 2 minutes or until skillet returns to full temperature.
• Add 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes and 1 teaspoon dried oregano to cream sauce. Gently stir ingredients together until well blended. Taste sauce and adjust salt, pepper, oregano, and/or red pepper flakes as desired.
• When sauce begins to simmer, return seared chicken breasts to skillet. Flip chicken breasts 3 to 4 times each to coat all sides in sauce. Let chicken cook on low heat for approximately 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
• Serve with potatoes, asparagus, or pasta!
