 Instructions

1. Season the Chicken
   Pat chicken thighs dry and season generously with all the spices (onion powder, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, pepper, paprika, and Italian herbs).
2. Sear the Chicken
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   Add chicken and sear for about 5–7 minutes per side until golden brown.
   Remove and set aside (they don’t need to be fully cooked yet).
3. Make the Sauce
   In the same pan, reduce heat to medium.
   Add butter and minced garlic, sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Deglaze
   Pour in chicken broth and scrape up all the flavorful bits from the pan.
5. Creamy Base
   Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, chili flakes, salt, and pepper.
   Stir until smooth and slightly thickened.
6. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes
   Mix them into the sauce for that signature rich flavor.
7. Combine & Simmer
   Return chicken to the pan.
   Spoon sauce over the top, cover, and simmer for 10–15 minutes until chicken is fully cooked and tender.
