Ingredients
Scale
Proteins:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, sliced
- 1 cup chicken broth
Seasonings and Spices:
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Cooking and Finishing Ingredients:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 small onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 12 ounces (340 grams) pasta (penne, fettuccine, or rigatoni)
- Fresh basil, for garnish
- Extra Parmesan cheese, for serving
Instructions
- Generously coat chicken slices with a blend of aromatic Italian seasoning, ensuring each piece is evenly seasoned with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Warm olive oil in a spacious skillet, bringing the pan to a robust medium-high temperature until it shimmers with heat.
- Carefully place seasoned chicken into the hot pan, allowing each slice to develop a rich, caramelized golden exterior through strategic searing.
- Continuously monitor the chicken, flipping once to achieve an even, appetizing coloration and ensuring the meat is thoroughly cooked with no trace of pink in the center.
- Gently transfer the perfectly seared chicken to a holding plate, preserving its warmth and juiciness while preparing the subsequent components of the dish.
Notes
- Choose chicken breasts with uniform thickness to ensure even cooking and prevent dry edges.
- Pound chicken gently between plastic wrap to create consistent slices that cook perfectly and quickly.
- Invest in fresh Italian seasoning blend for maximum flavor depth and aromatic profile.
- Use a meat thermometer to verify chicken reaches 165°F internal temperature without overcooking.
