Sear Chicken and Sauté Aromatics
  1. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then sear in olive oil in a large skillet until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  2. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet, cooking until fragrant.
Create Cream Sauce and Finish Dish

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce. This dish pairs well with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
