1 tbsp flour

250ml/1 cup This is an affiliate link.chicken stock
125ml / 1/2 cup double/heavy cream
50g / 1/2 cup This is an affiliate link.Parmesan cheese

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, heat 1 tbsp olive oil and 1 tbsp oil the sun-dried tomatoes were packed in a frying pan, then brown the chicken breasts over medium high heat until golden. This should take approximately 8-10 minutes. The chicken doesn’t have to be cooked all the way through at this point. Remove the chicken to a plate until later.
To the same pan add the garlic, sliced sun-dried tomatoes and tiny pinch of chilli flakes, sauté for about 30 seconds over very low heat. Sprinkle with flour and stir, so the flour combines with the fat creating a paste, cook it for about a minute, then deglaze the pan with the white wine and let it simmer for about 5 minutes until the liquid is reduced by a half.
Add the chicken stock, sliced basil leaves, heavy cream and grated Parmesan cheese, stir until the cheese is incorporated into the sauce, then bring the chicken back into the pan, cover with a lid and let the sauce simmer over medium heat for 15 minutes.
Serve with pasta.
