- 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt to taste
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- ¾ cup low-sodium chicken broth
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes finely chopped
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup Parmesan finely grated
- Torn fresh basil for serving
Arrange a rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 375°. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 Tbsp. oil. Generously season chicken with salt and black pepper and cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
In the same skillet over medium heat, heat the remaining 2 Tbsp. oil. Stir in garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan; season with salt. Bring to a simmer, then return chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet.
Transfer the skillet to the oven. Bake chicken until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 165°, 10 to 12 minutes.
Arrange chicken on a platter. Spoon sauce over. Top with basil.
