Description

A rich and creamy Marry Me Chicken recipe featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a luscious sauce of sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese. This Italian-American dish is easy to make on the stovetop and perfect for impressing guests or enjoying a comforting date night meal.

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Sauce

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning

Garnish

  • Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season Chicken: Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
  2. Cook Chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and fully cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side depending on thickness. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same pan, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the tomatoes start to soften.
  4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly, about 5 minutes.
  5. Combine and Coat: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the pan, spooning the creamy sauce over them to fully coat. Let the chicken warm through in the sauce for 2-3 minutes.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped basil leaves. Serve immediately with your choice of pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Serve with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
  • For a spicy kick, add red chili flakes while making the sauce.
  • Use low-sodium chicken broth to reduce salt content if desired.
  • Fresh basil adds a bright, herbaceous finish—don’t skip it!
