Marry Me Chicken

Creamy Marry Me Chicken made with golden seared chicken breasts simmered in a rich parmesan cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and garlic. Cozy, comforting, and impressive without being complicated.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 3/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  3. Sear the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden, then remove and set aside.
  4. Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds.
  5. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.
  6. Add parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes, then simmer gently until slightly thickened.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet and simmer until fully cooked and coated in sauce.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.

Notes

  • Simmer the sauce gently to keep it smooth and creamy.
  • Freshly grated parmesan melts better than pre-shredded.
  • Add a splash of broth when reheating to loosen the sauce.
