Description

Welcome, food enthusiasts! If you’re searching for a dish that’s equal parts romantic and indulgent, Marry Me Chicken is the recipe you need in your life. This creamy garlic Parmesan chicken with sun-dried tomatoes is not only flavorful but also perfect for any occasion—be it a date night dinner or a comforting family meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

Optional Substitutions:

  • Replace heavy cream with coconut cream for a dairy-free option.
  • Use spinach instead of sun-dried tomatoes for a different flavor profile.

Instructions

Step1: Preheat and Prep

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step2: Sear the Chicken

  • Heat olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
  • Sear chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Step3: Prepare the Sauce

  • In the same skillet, melt the butter.
  • Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up browned bits. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.

Step4: Combine Ingredients

  • Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, thyme, and oregano. Simmer gently.

Step5: Bake the Dish

  • Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step6: Garnish and Serve

  • Garnish with fresh basil and serve warm.

Notes

  • Use a cast-iron skillet for even heat distribution.
  • Don’t skip searing the chicken—it adds depth to the flavor.
  • For a thicker sauce, let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes.
