1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
09 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
10 -
Salt, to taste
11 -
Black pepper, to taste
# Preparation Steps:
01 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.

Transfer the cooked chicken breasts to a plate and let them rest while preparing the vegetables.

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and chopped broccoli. Sauté for about 3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and broccoli begins to soften.
04 -
Stir in the halved grape tomatoes and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for an additional 2 to 3 minutes, allowing the tomatoes to soften and release their juices.
05 -
Reduce heat to low. Slowly pour in the heavy cream and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning. Stir gently and cook for about 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes bubbly.
06 -
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet. Coat evenly with the creamy sauce and vegetables. Allow everything to simmer gently together for 3 minutes.
07 -
Sprinkle shredded Parmesan cheese over the chicken. Let the cheese melt into the sauce before serving warm.
# Supplementary Details:

For best results, ensure the chicken rests before slicing for optimal juiciness.

Use freshly grated Parmesan for a richer flavor and smoother sauce texture.
