Over medium heat, melt the butter and olive in a large skillet.

Add the chopped onions and cook until translucent. Add the garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Add the stock stirring to deglaze the skillet and scrape up any stuck bits.
Turn the heat to low and stir in the cream and parmesan cheese. Let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, oregano, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
Add the chicken back to the skillet. Simmer for about 5-10 minutes and then sprinkle with fresh basil.
Serve immediately over rice or pasta.
Notes
To make in advance, either 1) Do all the prep work a day in advance and store the prepared ingredients in the refrigerator until you're ready to cook, or 2) prepare the recipe, allow it to cool completely, and store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat over very low heat.
Leftovers may be stored for up to 3 days and reheated in the microwave or over low heat on the stovetop.
