Description

This creamy, savory Marry Me Chicken recipe is sure to impress your loved one. With tender chicken breasts in a rich, garlic-infused sauce, it’s no wonder why it’s called “Marry Me Chicken”. Perfect for date night or a special dinner!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh basil, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and Parmesan cheese. Mix well and let the sauce simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  6. Garnish with fresh basil and serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in Italian dressing for a few hours before cooking.
  • Serve with pasta or rice to soak up the delicious sauce.
  • This dish pairs beautifully with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
