Chicken in a Creamy Parmesan & Sundried Tomato Sauce

A quick, easy and tasty chicken dish in a creamy parmesan and sundried tomato sauce. from Brianne's Pinterest Yum food board!  Yum is right.  I enjoyed another Sunday chicken dish that I didn't need a crock pot for.

Ingredients:

1 tablespoon oil
4 (~6 oz) skinless and boneless chicken breasts, pounded thin
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
3/4 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy/ whipping cream
1/4 cup oil packed sundried tomatoes, chopped
1/4 cup parmigiano reggiano (parmesan), grated
salt and pepper to taste
1/4 cup fresh basil, thickly sliced (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)

Directions:
1) Heat oil in a pan over medium-high heat, add the chicken and cook until lightly golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 5 min. per sides before setting aside.  (take out chicken)
2) Add the garlic and red pepper flakes and sauté until fragrant, about a minute.
3) Add the wine and deglaze the pan.
4). Add the broth, cream, sundried tomatoes and parmesan, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the sauce thickens a bit, about 3-5 min.
5) Mix in the chicken along with the juices, season with salt & pepper to taste, remove from heat and mix in the basil.
