- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper and place them in a greased casserole dish.
- Mix the Sauce: In a bowl, combine the heavy cream, chicken broth, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until well mixed.

- Top with Cheese: Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top.
- Bake: Cover the casserole with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbling.
