Marry Me Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Chicken breasts: Cut boneless skinless chicken breasts in half lengthwise so they cook faster and more evenly
  • Garlic powder: For seasoning the chicken
  • Salt & Pepper: For seasoning
  • Butter and olive oil: For sautéing
  • Flour: To thicken the sauce
  • Garlic: To add more savory flavor
  • White wine: A dry white like pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc is preferred, not a cooking wine
  • Heavy cream: To make the sauce luxurious
  • Tomato paste and sun-dried tomatoes: For rich tomato flavor
  • Oregano and Basil: Dried oregano and fresh basil work well together
  • Red pepper flakes: They add a gentle warmth to the dish
  • Parmesan: For the final cheesy touch

Instructions:

  1. Season and Cook Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Then sauté them in a combination of butter and olive oil.
  2. Make the Sauce: Use flour to thicken the sauce, garlic, white wine, heavy cream, tomato paste, and sun-dried tomatoes to create the base for your sauce.
  3. Add Herbs and Spices: Incorporate oregano, basil, and a pinch of red pepper flakes to infuse the sauce with flavor.
  4. Finish with Parmesan: Add Parmesan cheese to give the sauce a cheesy and rich finish.
  5. Combine and Serve: Ensure the chicken is fully cooked and has reached an internal temperature of 165°F. Serve the chicken with the creamy tomato-based sauce over the top.

Tools You May Need:

  • A skillet, preferably something like a 10.25″ Le Creuset
  • A Microplane zester for grating the Parmesan
  • A chef’s knife for slicing the chicken
  • A wire whisk for the sauce
  • An instant-read thermometer to check the chicken’s doneness

Make sure to cook everything until the chicken is properly cooked through, and the sauce reaches the desired consistency.

Remember to garnish the dish with fresh herbs for a beautiful presentation and added fresh flavor. Enjoy your delicious Marry Me Chicken!
