Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter to a pan and heat over medium high heat.

Prepare 2 lbs of boneless skinless chicken breast, pounding them to an even thickness using parchment paper and a rolling pin or meat mallet.

Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

Place the seasoned chicken into the prepared pan and cook until brown for about 2 minutes on each side.

Remove the chicken from the pan once cooked on both sides.

In the same pan, add 3 tablespoons of minced garlic and cook for about 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant.

Add 1 tablespoon of all-purpose flour to the pan and mix to absorb the oils.

Slowly add in 1/2 cup of chicken broth while stirring to remove lumps and scrape the bottom of the pan.

Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream slowly while mixing.

Add 1/3 cup of roughly chopped sundried tomatoes to the sauce.

Season the sauce with 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes.

Finish the sauce by adding 1/2 cup of grated or shredded Parmesan cheese and mix until melted and creamy.

Reduce the heat to low and add the chicken back into the pan.

Cover the pan and cook for about 10 to 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through, checking the temperature to avoid overcooking.

Flip the chicken and stir the sauce halfway through cooking.
