Prepare 1 cup of plain flour in a wide dish and season with ground pepper and salt, then set aside.

Slice 3 chicken breasts into cutlets for even cooking.

Heat a large saute pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil from sun-dried tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of butter.

Dredge each chicken cutlet in the seasoned flour, pressing down to coat fully.

Once the oil and butter are sizzling, add the floured chicken cutlets to the pan without overcrowding.

Cook the chicken until browned, flipping when necessary, and remove when it lifts cleanly from the pan.

Crush 3 cloves of garlic and chop sun-dried tomatoes into ribbons.

Chiffonade 5 large basil leaves by stacking and slicing them.

Add garlic to the pan and cook for about 20 seconds until fragrant.

Stir in 1 teaspoon of dried oregano and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme to toast in the oil.

Pour in 1 cup of chicken stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up brown bits, and reduce by half.

Lower the heat to medium-low, add 1 cup of heavy cream, and stir until combined.

Mix in 1/2 cup of finely grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.

Add the sun-dried tomatoes to the sauce and adjust seasoning with salt.

Return the chicken to the pan, spooning sauce over it, and let flavors meld for about 5 minutes.

Sprinkle the chiffonaded basil on top before serving.
