Instructions
- Heat a large skillet with the olive oil over medium heat. While it is heating season the chicken with the salt, pepper and garlic powder.
- Once the skillet is hot, add the chicken and let cook without moving for 3-4 minutes. Then flip and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until the chicken has reached 165˚F internal temperature. Remove from skillet and set aside.Note: For best results, cook the chicken in a single layer without over crowding the pan. If you have too much chicken, cook the chicken in 2-3 batches by repeating this process.
- Reduce heat to low and add the butter to the skillet, once melted, add the flour and mix together. Add the garlic and cook 30-60 seconds.Mix in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a simmer to thicken.
- Once thickened, slowly stir in the cream. Then add the salt, parmesan, sun dried tomatoes, and fresh basil.Add the chicken back into the sauce, and simmer for 3-5 minutes. Garnish with additional basil or parmesan if desired. Enjoy!
Notes
- This goes well served over mashed potatoes or pasta.
