Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Season the chicken on both sides with the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
4 thinly sliced chicken breasts, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1 teaspoon black pepper, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
Add the olive oil once hot in a large cast iron or regular skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides until golden brown and place them on a plate.
2 tablespoons olive oil
Lower the heat to medium and melt the butter. Add the garlic, constantly stirring until fragrant.
2 tablespoons butter, 4 cloves garlic
Add the chicken stock and scrape the bottom of the pan to get any stuck-on bits.
1 cup unsalted chicken stock
Add the cream, tomatoes, cheese, Italian seasoning, and pepper flakes, and stir until combined. Bring to a simmer and simmer for 5 minutes.
1 cup heavy cream, 1/2 cup chopped sundried tomatoes, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons dried Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
Add the chicken breasts back to the pan along with any juices on the plate and cover with the sauce. Bake for 15-20 minutes until an internal temperature reaches 165°F. Serve immediately with a garnish of fresh basil.

Make sure to use a cast iron or oven-safe skillet, or else you will need to place the seared chicken with the sauce into a baking dish to finish in the oven.
