Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts lightly pounded to an even thickness
- Kosher salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tbsp butter or avocado oil
- 3-4 garlic cloves minced
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken or vegetable broth
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes chopped
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 cup heavy cream or lite coconut cream in a can
- 2 tbsp fresh chopped basil
Instructions
- Heat the oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and sear until golden on both sides, around 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside on a plate.
- Melt the butter in the same preheated skillet. Sauté the garlic for 30 seconds, until it starts to release its fragrance. Add the broth and deglaze the pan by bubbling it for a couple of minutes while stirring through the bottom of the pan.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and oregano and stir to combine and meld the flavors. Pour the heavy cream, little by little, stirring well after each addition to emulsify.
- Return the chicken to the pan and nestle into the sauce. Sprinkle with fresh basil and remove from heat.
Notes
