Instructions

1. Pat the chicken dry with a paper towel. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt over the chicken.
2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
3. Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a plate.
4. In the same skillet, add chopped garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
5. Pour in the heavy cream, chicken stock, bouillon, and 2/3 of grated Parmesan cheese into the skillet.
6. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning (or dried herbs), pepper and half red pepper flakes (optional) into the skillet.
7. Stir everything together and bring it to a simmer.
8. Reduce the heat to medium-low, then return the chicken to the skillet.
9. Cook the chicken until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes more.
10. Top the chicken with thinly sliced basil leaves, remaining Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes (optional)
