Marry Me Chicken is the dinner that gets a proposal. Juicy chicken. Creamy, garlicky sun-dried tomato sauce. Parmesan. Herbs. One skillet. 30 minutes. So good, they’ll say yes.
Season & Sear Chicken
Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken 5-7 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
Make Sauce
Add garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook 1 minute. Pour in heavy cream and broth. Bring to a simmer. Stir in Parmesan, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Cook 3-5 minutes until thickened.
Finish
Return chicken to the skillet. Simmer 5-7 minutes until chicken is cooked through (165°F / 74°C).
Serve
Garnish with fresh basil. Serve over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread. Creamy, dreamy, proposal-worthy.
