Marry Me Chicken
Description
Marry Me Chicken brings together chicken breasts browned in olive oil and butter, seasoned with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and paprika. After searing, garlic enriches the pan before a mixture of chicken broth and flour is added to create a savory base. Heavy cream and drained sun-dried tomatoes join to develop a silky, thickened sauce that gently cooks the chicken through. The creamy sauce with a subtle tang from the sun-dried tomatoes complements the tender chicken throughout.
The dish can be served warm, garnished with fresh basil and grated Parmesan for added flavor contrasts and a touch of freshness. These garnishes enhance but do not overpower the creamy, savory character of the dish.
Leftovers store well refrigerated in an airtight container for up to five days. The recipe allows substituting boneless skinless chicken thighs for elevated flavor and moisture. Using an instant-read thermometer helps ensure the chicken reaches a safe 165°F internal temperature.
Ingredients
- 6 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 2 Tablespoons butter salted
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 Tablespoon garlic minced
- 1 ½ cups chicken broth
- 3 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/3 cup tomatoes drained, sun dried
- basil optional for garnish, fresh
- Parmesan Cheese optional for garnish, grated
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the pan. Season the chicken with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and paprika. Brown the chicken breasts in the oil and butter for 2-3 minutes per side. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until the garlic is aromatic.
- In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the chicken broth and flour. Add this mixture to the pan. Bring the mixture to a low simmer. Then stir in the heavy whipping and sun dried tomatoes. Simmer on low for 4-6 minutes until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165 degrees F).
- Serve warm topped with the fresh basil and grated parmesan cheese. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Boneless skinless chicken thighs can be used as a substitute for chicken breasts.
- Use an instant-read thermometer to verify the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F for safety.
