Instructions

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. I used 2 large chicken breasts that I cut horizontally (lengthwise) to turn them into thinner cutlets. Generously season the chicken with salt and pepper, then coat it in flour. Sear the chicken for about 5 minutes on each side, or until it is browned and cooked through. Once done, transfer the chicken to a plate.
In the same skillet, add chopped onion, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes (including some of the oil from the jar). Cook on low to medium heat for about 5 minutes, until the onions are softened. Deglaze the pan with ½ cup of white wine, allowing it to cook down slightly.
Next, pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and bring to a simmer over low to medium heat. Stir in the shredded Parmesan cheese until fully incorporated. If the sauce is too thick, add ½ cup of chicken thin it out, adding more if necessary. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Return the chicken to the skillet to reheat, then top with fresh basil before serving.
