Marry Me Chicken

Marry Me Chicken

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

• Salt & pepper

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 3–4 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 cup chicken broth

• ¾ cup heavy cream

• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

• 1 tsp chili flakes (optional but 🔥)

• 1 tsp dried oregano

• ½ tsp thyme

• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Season & Sear the Chicken:

   • Season chicken with salt and pepper.

   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

   • Sear chicken until golden on both sides (about 4–5 mins per side). Remove and set aside.

2. Make the Sauce:

   • In the same pan, add garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.

   • Pour in chicken broth and scrape up all the browned bits.

   • Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, chili flakes, oregano, and thyme. Let it simmer a few minutes to thicken.

3. Bring It All Together:

   • Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over it.

   • Simmer for 10–15 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.

4. Serve:

   • Top with fresh basil or parsley.

   • Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or with crusty bread.

🔥 Pro Tips:

• Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for a little extra depth.

• Want it extra creamy? Add a bit more Parmesan or a spoon of cream cheese.

• You can finish it off in the oven too (350°F for 10–15 mins).
