Marry Me Chicken Flavor (Print-Friendly Version)

Golden-brown chicken simmered in a creamy, sun-dried tomato and Parmesan sauce for a satisfying dinner.

# What You'll Need:

→ Protein

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

→ Oils and Fats

02 - 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
03 - 120 milliliters heavy cream

→ Aromatics and Herbs

04 - 2 large garlic cloves, finely chopped
05 - 1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
06 - 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
07 - Torn fresh basil, for serving

→ Liquids

08 - 180 milliliters low-sodium chicken broth

→ Vegetables

09 - 120 milliliters finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes

→ Cheese

10 - 25 grams finely grated Parmesan cheese

→ Seasonings

11 - Kosher salt, to taste
12 - Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

# How to Make It:

01 - Arrange a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 190°C. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Generously season chicken breasts with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Sear chicken until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side, then transfer to a plate.
02 - In the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir in chopped garlic, fresh thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, approximately 1 minute.
03 - Add the low-sodium chicken broth, finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and grated Parmesan to the skillet. Season with additional salt if needed. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then return the seared chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet.
04 - Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 74°C, approximately 10 to 12 minutes.
05 - Arrange the chicken on a serving platter, spoon the sauce generously over the top, and garnish with torn fresh basil leaves.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Searing the chicken before baking enhances flavor and helps retain moisture, forming a golden crust.
02 - If reheating leftovers and sauce is too thick, add a splash of water to adjust consistency.
