Create the famous Marry Me Chicken, a rich and creamy chicken dish that is sure to impress. This recipe brings together tender chicken breasts in a luxurious sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  6. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let the broth simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, and Italian seasoning. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Add red pepper flakes, if using. Taste and adjust salt and pepper.
  9. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over them. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes to heat through.
  10. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley before serving.

Notes

  • You can pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for faster, more consistent cooking.
  • Use oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor, draining them well first.
  • For a richer sauce, use all heavy cream instead of chicken broth.
  • Serve this dish over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
