Marry Me Chicken
Description
This recipe begins by coating chicken breasts in a seasoned flour mixture including garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper before searing them in butter and oil to develop a golden crust. After removing the chicken, a sauce is built in the same skillet, using garlic, chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan, and dried herbs like oregano and thyme. Sundried tomatoes add a touch of acidity and chewiness.
The sauce gently simmers to thicken and develop flavor before the chicken returns to the pan to absorb some sauce and finish cooking. The combination of creamy texture from the heavy cream and sharp, salty notes from parmesan complements the tender, well-seared chicken. Fresh basil and extra parmesan garnish add brightness and richness.
Marry Me Chicken pairs well with pasta or rice as it makes a rich entree with an indulgent sauce. The recipe suits those wanting a flavorful, velvety sauce alongside simply cooked chicken breasts with subtle heat from red pepper flakes.
Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to three days in an airtight container. For best reheating, store pasta separately to avoid sogginess, and gently reheat the chicken and sauce on the stovetop or microwave, stirring occasionally until warmed through.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breast boneless and skinless, large
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoons paprika
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup parmesan grated
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1/4 teaspoon thyme dried
- 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes chopped
- basil fresh basil, grated parmesan, for garnish
- Parmesan Cheese fresh basil, 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
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days for best freshness.
- Keep pasta separate from the chicken and sauce when storing to prevent the noodles from becoming soggy upon reheating.
- Reheat gently on the stovetop or microwave, stirring occasionally to warm the sauce and chicken evenly.
