Method

1
Bring the chicken fillets to room temperature 1/2 hour before cooking. Season the fillets with salt and black pepper.

Heat 1 tbsp of oil in an ovenproof skillet. Brown the fillets on both sides until they have a beautiful color. Transfer to a plate. Do not rinse the pan.
3
Drain and chop the sun-dried tomatoes. Finely chop the peeled garlic cloves.
4
Pour the remaining oil (2 tbsp) into the skillet. Sauté the garlic, thyme, and chili flakes in the pan for about a minute. Add the cream, water, chicken fond, sun-dried tomatoes, and grated parmesan. Stir and bring to a boil. Return the fillets to the pan.
5
Transfer the skillet to a 175-degree oven for about 15 minutes.

Garnish with basil. Serve the chicken with pasta, bread, or rice, for example.
