Here’s a delicious recipe for Marry Me Chicken that’s sure to impress! It’s a creamy, flavorful dish made with tender chicken breasts simmered in a rich sauce.
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)
Fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)
Freshly grated Parmesan, for serving
Instructions:
- Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season them on both sides with salt and pepper.
- Sear the chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on each side, about 5-6 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
- Sauté the garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Make the sauce: Stir in the dried oregano, thyme, and basil, then add the heavy cream, chicken broth, and sun-dried tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Add the Parmesan and red pepper flakes: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes until the cheese melts and the sauce becomes creamy.
- Simmer the chicken: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon the sauce over them, and let them simmer for 8-10 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce thickens.
- Garnish and serve: Garnish with freshly chopped basil and extra Parmesan cheese. Serve the Marry Me Chicken over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.
Enjoy this flavorful dish!
