  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

  1. Season the chicken breast with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, adding the olive oil and butter.

  4. Sauté the minced garlic in the same skillet for about 1 minute.
  5. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
  6. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping to lift browned bits.
  7. Create the sauce by adding heavy cream and bringing to a gentle simmer.
