Instructions

Season the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
Heat the oil from the sundried tomato jar in a large frying pan on a medium heat.
Add the chicken cutlets and sear each side for 5 minutes until golden. Remove from the pan to a plate and cover to keep warm.
Add the garlic to the pan with the leftover oil and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken stock to deglaze the pan, scraping any bits off the bottom with a spatula for 1 minute.
Add the heavy cream, parmesan cheese, paprika, thyme and oregano. Stir and allow the sauce to simmer for 3-4 minutes until it thickens.
Add the sun-dried tomatoes and the chicken back to the sauce. Let the sauce simmer and thicken for 5 more minutes, spooning the sauce over the chicken to coat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and serve.

Notes

6g net carbs per serving. Makes 4 portions.
*** I used 2 very large chicken breasts, which served 4. Supermarkets and butchers also sell pre-sliced chicken cutlets. Aim for 5 oz of meat per person.
The benefit of cutlets is that they cook through quicker. If you decide to use whole breasts instead, cover the pan with a lid and let the chicken simmer until they reach an internal temperature of 75C or 165F. Test this with a meat thermometer by probing the thickest part of the breast.
Serve Marry Me Chicken over cauliflower rice for a low-carb dinner. It is also delicious with steamed broccoli or roasted vegetables.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. You can also freeze it for up to 3 months.
