Mix together the flour, salt, and pepper, then dredge the chicken in flour, shaking off any excess.

In a large skillet, heat olive oil and melt the butter over medium heat, swirling to coat evenly.

Brown the chicken in batches for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.

Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover, and set aside.

In the same skillet, sauté the garlic for about one minute, taking care not to burn it.

Add the sundried tomato oil and stir it in.

Add chicken stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits stuck to the bottom.

Reduce the heat to medium-low and stir in the double/heavy cream and Parmesan cheese.

Simmer the sauce for a few minutes, seasoning with chili flakes, thyme, oregano, and add the chopped sundried tomatoes.

Return the chicken to the skillet and let the sauce simmer and thicken for a few more minutes.

Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and serve warm over pasta, rice, or baby potatoes.
