Introduction:
Why is it called “Marry Me Chicken”? Because it’s so delicious, one bite might just lead to a marriage proposal! This viral dish has taken the internet by storm, and for a good reason. Juicy chicken breasts, a rich sun-dried tomato cream sauce, and a hint of spice make this the ultimate “comfort-meets-luxury” meal. The best part? It takes less than 30 minutes to make.
Ingredients
Chicken: 1 lb chicken breasts (halved lengthwise).
Flour: ¼ cup (for dredging).
The Sauce: 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup chicken broth, 3 cloves garlic (minced).
Flavor Bombs: ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (chopped), 1 tsp red pepper flakes, 1 tsp dried oregano.
Cheese: ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
Freshness: Fresh basil leaves for garnish.
Instructions
Coat the Chicken: Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour. Shake off the excess.
Brown the Meat: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter. Sear the chicken until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side). Transfer to a plate.
Aromatics: In the same pan, sauté the garlic and red pepper flakes for 1 minute.
Deglaze & Simmer: Add broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce starts to thicken.
The Secret Ingredients: Add the sun-dried tomatoes and oregano.
Final Touch: Place the chicken back in the sauce. Let it simmer for 5 more minutes until the sauce is glossy and the chicken is tender. Garnish with fresh basil.
