Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream

• ½ cup chicken broth

• ½ cup grated parmesan cheese

• ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)

• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Let's Get Cooking

1. Season the chicken

Season both sides with salt, pepper, and paprika.

2. Sear

Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.

3. Make the sauce

In the same pan, sauté garlic for about 30 seconds.

Add chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and chili flakes. Stir and let simmer until slightly thickened.

4. Bring it together

Return chicken to the pan. Spoon sauce over the top. Simmer 10–15 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the sauce is creamy.

5. Garnish and serve

Top with fresh herbs and extra parmesan if you like.

Tips for the Best Flavor

• Don’t rush the sear — golden chicken adds flavor

• Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for richness

• Freshly grated parmesan melts better

• Simmer gently so the sauce stays smooth
