Instructions

1. Prepare and Season Chicken

   Slice each chicken breast in half to make four pieces. Season both sides with garlic‑herb seasoning, salt, and pepper.

   Time: PT5M

2. Sear Chicken

   Heat olive oil in the shallow Dutch oven over medium‑high heat. Add the chicken pieces and sauté until they develop a deep golden color, about 4‑5 minutes per side. Do not cook through.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: medium-high

3. Build the Base

   Add the chopped garlic, the oil from the sun‑dried tomatoes, and a teaspoon of butter to the pot. Sauté for 1‑2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

   Time: PT2M

   Temperature: medium

4. Add Cream and Stock

   Stir in the heavy cream and chicken stock, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil.

   Time: PT3M

   Temperature: medium

5. Incorporate Cheese and Herbs

   Reduce heat to low, add the grated Parmesan and torn basil leaves, stirring until the cheese melts into a smooth sauce.

   Time: PT1M

6. Simmer Chicken in Sauce

   Return the partially cooked chicken to the pot, making sure the sauce is bubbling. Partially cover and let simmer for 10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

   Time: PT10M

   Temperature: low

7. Finish and Serve

   Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve the chicken and sauce over cooked angel hair pasta (or rice/mashed potatoes), sprinkling extra Parmesan on top.

   Time: PT2M
