Instructions
Making Marry Me Chicken is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to create this flavorful dish:
1. Season the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
2. Heat Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
3. Sear the Chicken: Add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set aside.
4. Cook Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
5. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another minute.
6. Add Chicken Broth: Pour in the chicken broth, stirring to deglaze the skillet, making sure to scrape up any bits stuck to the bottom.
7. Stir in Cream and Seasoning: Lower the heat and add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning to the mixture. Stir well until combined.
8. Add Chicken Back: Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning sauce over them.
9. Add Parmesan Cheese: Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken. Let simmer for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
10. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil if desired. Serve hot over cooked pasta or rice.
