Step-by-Step Instructions for Creamy Jack Cheese Chicken
  1. Season the boneless chicken breasts or thighs generously with salt and pepper. Allow to sit for about 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add a splash of oil. Sauté the chicken for approximately 6-7 minutes on each side until cooked through.
  3. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add heavy cream and stir continuously, then gradually add Jack cheese until melted.
  4. Add sun-dried tomatoes to the creamy mixture, then return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it. Let simmer for 3-4 minutes.
  5. Transfer the chicken onto serving plates, drizzling the creamy Jack sauce over the top before serving.
