Instructions

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken on both sides until golden and cooked through (6–8 minutes per side). Set aside.
Reduce heat to medium. Add garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet; sauté 30 seconds.
Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, and sun-dried tomatoes. Simmer 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Return chicken to skillet and coat with sauce. Stir in basil or parsley. Adjust seasoning if needed.
Toast buns with mayonnaise or compound butter until golden.
Assemble sandwiches: place chicken on bun bottoms, spoon extra sauce over, add tomato and arugula (if using), and top with remaining bun halves. Serve warm.

Notes

Use half-and-half or Greek yogurt for a lighter sauce.
Substitute grilled chicken for a smoky twist.
Try different breads like ciabatta or focaccia.
Add hot sauce or pickled jalapeños for heat.
Make vegetarian with grilled portobello or halloumi.
Store sauce and chicken separately; reheat gently and toast buns fresh for best texture.
