Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil

- 4 boneless (skinless chicken breasts (You can use thinly sliced chicken breasts. If using regular-sized chicken breasts you can slice them in half lengthwise or pound them with a mallet to even them out))

- Reduce the heat to medium, add the minced garlic, and sauté for about 1 minute. Now add the chicken stock and simmer for a few minutes while scraping the bottom of the pan.
- Add the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Let this simmer for a few minutes to let the cheese dissolve.
- Add the chili flakes, thyme, oregano, sun-dried tomatoes, salt, and pepper, and continue simmering for 2-3 minutes to let the sauce thicken.
