Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Make the Pesto Cream Sauce:
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream and bring it to a simmer.
Add the pesto, Parmesan cheese, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Combine and Serve:
Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
Simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the chicken to soak up the flavors.
Garnish with fresh basil leaves and extra Parmesan cheese.
Serve hot with your choice of pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
