Italian Herb and Garlic Chicken with SunDried Tomato Cream Sauce

 "Ingredients:

- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour

- 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning

- 1 tablespoon of garlic powder

- Salt and pepper to taste

- 2 tablespoons of olive oil

- 4 cloves of garlic, minced

- 1/2 cup of chicken broth

- 1 cup of heavy cream

- 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

- 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese

- Fresh basil leaves for garnish

Directions:

1. Mix the flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. Dredge the chicken breasts in the mixture, shaking off any excess.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Let it cook for a few minutes to reduce slightly.

4. Lower the heat and stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese. Cook for a few more minutes until the sauce has thickened.

5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer in the sauce for a few more minutes to let the flavors meld together.

6. Serve the chicken with extra sauce spooned over the top. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

Cooking Time: Prep time is about 10 minutes and cooking time is around 30 minutes, making it a 40-minute recipe.

Nutrition Information: This dish is high in protein from the chicken and has a rich supply of vitamins A & C from the sun-dried tomatoes. However, it is also high in fats due to the cream and cheese, so it should be eaten in moderation as part of a balanced diet.

Cooking Tips: You can adjust the amount of garlic and Italian seasoning to suit your taste. Also, using freshly grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-grated will give a fresher and richer flavor. 

Unique Twists: For a spicy kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the sauce. You can also add sautéed mushrooms or spinach for extra nutrients"
