Ingredients

Scale

With “Marry Me Chicken,” simplicity is key. Below is the list of ingredients that you’ll need to bring this dish to life:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped

If you’re short on ingredients, don’t worry. Swap the heavy cream for coconut milk for a lighter version, or use dried basil if fresh isn’t available. Remember, it’s about making do with what you have—just like my mom taught me.

Instructions

Ready to get started? Here’s how to bring this delicious dish to your dinner table:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  3. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Pour in the chicken broth and use a wooden spoon to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Reduce the heat to low and add the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan cheese, thyme, and oregano. Stir until the cheese melts and the sauce thickens slightly.
  7. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over the top, and sprinkle with fresh basil.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  9. Remove from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes, and get ready to serve a dish that’s sure to impress.

Remember, if the sauce is too thick, you can always add a splash more broth. It’s all about finding what works best for you and your kitchen.
