Tender, juicy chicken is simmered to perfection in a creamy, dreamy sun-dried tomato sauce. This delicious Marry Me Chicken is easy to make in just 30 minutes and is equally suitable for busy weeknights or special occasions. Legend has it, this dish is so good, it will be love at first bite!

Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast cutlets (about 1.5 lbs)*
- salt and pepper
- ¼ cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided use (can use the oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes)
- 2 cloves garlic finely chopped
- 1 cup chicken stock
- ½ cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup sun-dried tomatoes in oil, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- Optional garnish: fresh basil
Instructions
- Slice the chicken breasts in half horizontally to make 4 cutlets. Season them with salt and pepper. Place the flour on a plate and dredge the chicken lightly on both sides in the flour. Dust off any excess flour. Discard any remaining flour.
- Heat 1 ½ tablespoons of oil in a large skillet like a cast iron skillet over medium heat. For extra flavor, use the oil from the jar of sundried tomatoes. Add the chicken cutlets and cook 4 minutes until golden brown. Flip and cook another 3-4 minutes on the second side. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
- Add the remaining ½ tablespoon oil to the skillet and add the garlic. Stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn. Add the chicken stock and cook 1-2 minutes until it reduces slightly. Stir in the cream, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Simmer 1-2 minutes until thickened. Stir in the parmesan cheese.
- Nestle the chicken back into the sauce (be sure to add any juices that have accumulated on the plate. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. Cook another couple of minutes until the chicken is heated through. Garnish with fresh basil and serve.
Notes
- * You can buy chicken breast cutlets from the grocery store or you can slice regular chicken breasts in half horizontally and get the same results.
- When you add the chicken back to the pan with the sauce, don't forget to add any juices that have accumulated on the plate. You don't want to miss out on that flavor!
- I like to dredge the chicken lightly in flour to give it a nice brown crust. It also helps lock in the juices. If you're trying to make this dish keto, you can skip this step. Note, the nutritional calculation just uses 1 tablespoon of flour, which is the amount that adheres to the chicken (the rest of the flour is discarded).
- I like to use sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil rather than dry-packed tomatoes for this dish because I use some of the oil from the jar to cook the chicken. It adds extra flavor and color.
- You can add a splash or white wine to the sauce for even more flavor (then enjoy the rest of the bottle along with dinner!)
