Marry Me Chicken Recipe
A creamy, flavorful chicken dish simmered in garlic parmesan sauce with sundried tomatoes. Quick, comforting, and perfect for romantic dinners or cozy family meals.
Ingredients
- 3 large chicken breasts, boneless and skinless sliced lengthwise into thin cutlets
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 cup heavy cream double cream in the UK
- ½ cup parmesan cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- ¼ teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon thyme
- ⅓ cup sundried tomatoes chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves chopped
Instructions
- Slice chicken breasts lengthwise into thin cutlets. Pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
- Lightly coat each cutlet in flour and shake off the excess.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds to 1 minute until fragrant.
- Deglaze the pan with chicken stock, scraping up browned bits. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan.
- Add chili flakes, oregano, and thyme. Simmer until slightly thickened. Adjust seasoning as needed.
- Stir in chopped sundried tomatoes. Return chicken to the skillet and simmer 3–5 more minutes.
- Sprinkle fresh basil over the top before serving.
- Serve warm with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
Notes
- Use the oil from the sundried tomato jar instead of plain olive oil for extra flavor.
- Grate your own parmesan for a smoother sauce.
- Simmer gently to avoid breaking the cream sauce.
