Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs

Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh basil, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. Season chicken with salt and pepper, then lightly dredge in flour.
2. Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add garlic and cook until fragrant. Add sun-dried tomatoes and red pepper flakes.
4. Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up any brown bits.

7. Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.
Notes
This dish reheats beautifully with a splash of cream or broth.
Use thighs for extra juiciness, breasts for leaner flavor.
Pair with pasta or mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce.
