Marry Me Chicken
Marry Me Chicken is a flavorful dish featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a creamy, garlic-infused sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and fresh herbs. Serve it over pasta or with crusty bread to soak up every drop of the delicious sauce.
Ingredients
- 3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil divided
- 4 8-oz boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- to taste Kosher salt
- to taste freshly ground black pepper
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
- 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
- 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
- to garnish torn fresh basil for serving
Instructions
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
- Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Add chopped garlic, fresh thyme leaves, and crushed red pepper flakes. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
- Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan. Stir to combine and let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over each piece. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for 2-3 more minutes until heated through.
- Garnish with torn fresh basil and serve the chicken with its sauce over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread.
Notes
For extra richness, add a few extra tablespoons of Parmesan cheese to the sauce before serving.
