  1. 3 tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  2. 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  3. Kosher salt
  4. Freshly ground black pepper
  5. 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  6. 1 tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
  7. 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  8. 3/4 c. low-sodium chicken broth
  9. 1/2 c. finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  10. 1/2 c. heavy cream
  11. 1/4 c. finely grated Parmesan
  12. Torn fresh basil, for serving

Instructions

  1. Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 Tbsp. oil. Generously season chicken with salt and black pepper and cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
  2. In same skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil. Stir in garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan; season with salt. Bring to a simmer, then return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet.
  3. Transfer skillet to oven. Bake chicken until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 165°, 10 to 12 minutes.
  4. Arrange chicken on a platter. Spoon sauce over. Top with basil.
