Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Lower heat to medium. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the skillet.
Stir in heavy cream, parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, and oregano. Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Simmer for 3–5 more minutes to blend flavors.
Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot with pasta, rice, or bread.
