Instructions
Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in chicken broth, scraping up browned bits from the skillet. Let it simmer for 1–2 minutes.
Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer for 3–4 minutes, allowing sauce to thicken slightly.
Add basil pesto, chopped sundried tomatoes, and grated Parmesan. Stir until cheese melts and sauce is smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
Return chicken to skillet, spooning sauce over it. Simmer together 2–3 minutes to meld flavors. Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil.
