Equipment

  • 1 Large pan or skillet
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Saucepan
  • 1 Plate
  • 1 Tongs or slotted spoon

Ingredients
  

  • 4 1.5 lbs chicken thighs boneless (boneless and skinless)
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and thinly sliced)
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1 cup chicken stock:
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • ¼ cup fresh basil leaves (chopped)
  • A pinch of salt, pepper, red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

  • Grab a skillet and get it nice and hot over medium-high heat. Toss in your olive oil, then let's get those chicken thighs in there.
  • Give those thighs a good sear until they're beautifully browned on all sides. This should take about 2-3 minutes per side. Once they're looking good, take them out of the pan and set them aside for now.
  • Toss in your garlic, Italian seasoning, oregano, red pepper flakes, and those beautiful sun-dried tomatoes.
  • Let everything sizzle together for a couple of minutes, just until you can really smell the aroma.
  • Pour in the chicken stock and heavy cream, then sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese.
  • Give it a good stir to get everything combined, then it's time for the cornstarch. Now, as soon as that hits the pan, start whisking right away to avoid any lumps.
  • Bring back those chicken thighs and nestle them right into that gorgeous sauce. Turn down the heat a bit, put a lid on it, and let everything simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through. If your thighs are bigger, they might need a little longer, and smaller ones might be ready sooner.
  • While that's simmering, give it a stir every few minutes to keep that sauce from sticking.
  • Once the chicken is cooked to perfection, toss in that fresh basil and give it one last stir. Take it off the heat, and you're ready to serve.
  • Don't forget the finishing touch. A sprinkle of Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, and a few basil leaves on top makes it look extra fancy and adds a burst of flavor.
