2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add diced onions and cook until translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

3. Add minced garlic and sliced bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for another 2 minutes.

4. Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the chicken pieces. Season with dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper. Cook until the chicken is browned on all sides, about 5-6 minutes.

5. Add sliced mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the mushrooms are tender.

6. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.

8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
