Marry Me Chicken Recipe Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 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 oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
How to make Marry Me Chicken Recipe:
Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper, then dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken broth, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.
Combine and Serve: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning some of the sauce over them. Let the chicken simmer in the sauce for about 5-7 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.
Recipe Notes :
Serving Suggestions: This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Variations: You can add spinach or mushrooms to the sauce for extra flavor and nutrition.
Storage: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
