Marry Me Chicken
Generously seasoned chicken is doused in a gorgeous cream sauce making this Marry Me Chicken dish one of the best chicken meals you'll ever eat.
Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 2 tablespoons minced garlic
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan (grated)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes (chopped)
- fresh basil and grated parmesan for garnish
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, mix together the flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir in the chicken broth and heavy cream, deglazing the pot as you stir. Then add the parmesan cheese, red pepper flakes, oregano and thyme, and stir together on a low to medium heat.
- Finally, add the sun dried tomatoes to the skillet and stir until the sauce is well combined. Continue stirring and on a low simmer for 5 minutes as the sauce thickens and bubbles.
- Add the chicken back in for 10 more minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken, until heated through.
- Garnish with fresh chopped basil and grated parmesan and serve warm over your favorite pasta, rice or potatoes.
Notes
Storage – Store the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. If you decide to make this a pasta dish, I don’t recommend storing the pasta with the chicken. Store the noodles separately from the chicken and sauce otherwise it won’t reheat well and the sauce will stick to the noodles. You can reheat the Marry Me Chicken in the microwave or heat it back on the stovetop for a few minutes until warm.
