This Marry Me Chicken recipe is a creamy, sun-dried tomato chicken dish that’s perfect for a weeknight meal. It’s easy to make and incredibly delicious.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1/2 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1.5 cups heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Cut chicken breasts in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Add chicken to the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add chopped onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  5. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  6. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, basil, and red pepper flakes (if using). Cook for 1 minute.
  7. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  8. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  9. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it.
  10. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until chicken is heated through and coated in sauce.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

  • For a less rich sauce, you can substitute half-and-half for heavy cream.
  • If you don’t have fresh parsley for garnish, a sprinkle of dried parsley will also work.
  • This dish pairs wonderfully with pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
