Marry Me Chicken
Report
Marry Me Chicken is a flavorful one-pot dish with chicken breasts simmered in a rich creamy sundried tomato and Parmesan cheese sauce.
Share:
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts or cutlets, about 3 small chicken breasts
- ¾ teaspoon salt divided
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 ½ tablespoons tomato paste
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 cup chicken broth
- ⅔ cup heavy whipping cream
- ⅔ cup oil packed sundried tomatoes drained and chopped
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- fresh basil leaves for garnish, thinly sliced
Instructions
- If using chicken breasts, cut the chicken in half horizontally to form thinner cutlets and season with ½ teaspoon salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken lightly in the flour.
- In a large 12-inch skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken and cook for 4 minutes, flip and cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes or until cooked through. Transfer the chicken to a plate to keep warm.
- Reduce the temperature to medium and add the remaining oil. Stir in the garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the broth, heavy cream, tomato paste, and remaining ¼ teaspoon salt and bring to a simmer. Let simmer uncovered until slightly thickened, about 5 to 8 minutes. Add the chicken to the pan along with any juices and sundried tomatoes. Simmer for an additional 3 to 5 minutes or until the chicken is heated through.
- Remove from the heat and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Taste and season with additional salt and pepper.
- Garnish with fresh basil.
Notes
- For an extra boost of flavor, use the oil from the sundried tomatoes in place of olive oil.
- Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in a covered container for up to 4 days.
