In a shallow bowl, combine flour, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
Dredge chicken in flour mixture; shake off excess; set aside.
Heat 1 T. reserved oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Fry chicken until golden on each side, cooked through and no longer pink (about 5-6 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of chicken). Transfer to a warm plate.
Add remaining 1 T. oil to the skillet; sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add sun-dried tomatoes and mushrooms; fry until mushrooms are just soft.
Reduce heat to low-medium heat; add milk; bring to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally. Season with salt and pepper, to taste; add the milk/cornstarch mixture to the center of the pan. Continue to simmer while quickly stirring mixture through until sauce thickens. (ONLY use cornstarch if using milk for sauce.)
Add in Parmesan cheese; allow sauce to simmer for another minute until cheese melts through the sauce. Add chicken back into the pan; sprinkle with basil and a little more pepper, if desired.
Serve over your favorite pasta, rice or steamed vegetables.
4 servings.
*Substitute milk with almond, rice, oat, or coconut milks. Or, use half and half or a reduced fat cream. If using cream in place of milk, DO NOT add the cornstarch mixture. You won't need it.
**For a gluten free option, find GLUTEN FREE Cornstarch where available.
