In the same skillet, add drained olive oil from the sundried tomatoes and heat.

Add garlic and fresh thyme, sautéing until fragrant.

Sprinkle in a few red pepper flakes.

Add 3/4 cup of chicken stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any bits stuck to the bottom.

Add the entire jar of sundried tomatoes (7 oz) to the skillet.

Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream and bring to a light boil.

Add 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese and mix well.

Nestle the chicken back into the sauce in the skillet.

Cover the skillet and bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes.
