Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
3
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over high heat.
4
Cook the seasoned chicken until golden brown on both sides - approximately 2 minutes per side. Remove the chicken onto a plate and keep it warm.
5
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 15 seconds until light golden.
6
Carefully pour in the white wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to mix all the browned bits into the wine. Allow the wine to simmer for a minute until the smell of alcohol has evaporated.
7
Stir in Dijon mustard, then add the chicken broth, heavy cream, grated parmesan, and chopped sundried tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to medium.
8
Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 minutes until thickened, stirring regularly to dissolve the parmesan.

Taste the sauce and add more salt and pepper if desired.
