Preheat the oven to 350F.
Make the sundried tomato dressing by blending together all of the dressing ingredients with a blender Set aside.
Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
Add 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil to an oven safe skillet over medium-high heat. When the pan is hot, turn to medium heat and add the chicken breasts. Cook until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes per side and then remove the chicken to a plate or bowl and set aside.
Add the butter to the pan and once melted add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, dried oregano, dried thyme and chili flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add ⅓ cup chopped sundried tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the rice and stir well to coat with the oils in the pan.
Stir in the Better Than Bouillon Roasted Chicken Base, water and cream and bring to a simmer. Once simmering, stir in the parmesan cheese, fresh basil and ¼ cup of the sundried tomato dressing, stir to combine and then add the chicken back in over top of the rice and any juices from the plate / bowl back to the pan as well.
Cover the skillet with a lid or aluminum foil and transfer to the preheated oven and bake until the chicken is cooked through to 165F and the rice is cooked, about 30-35 minutes.
Remove from the oven and fluff the rice a bit with a fork.
Serve topped with remaining sundried tomato dressing, fresh basil leaves and crumbled feta cheese.
