Marry Me Chicken
Prep Time - 10 minutes | Time To Make - 30 minutes
Marry Me Chicken brings comfort and flavor together in one irresistible dish. Tender chicken is simmered in a creamy parmesan sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and fresh herbs for a rich, savory meal that feels special without being complicated.
Ingredients
4 skinless chicken breasts
6 tbsp flour
3 tbsp butter
2 tbsp olive oil
3 cloves garlic, sliced
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp fresh thyme
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 cup finely grated parmesan, plus more for serving
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
2 tbsp fresh basil, for garnish
Instructions
1
Coat the chicken. Pat the breasts dry, season with salt and pepper, and dredge in the flour.
2
Sear. Heat the butter and olive oil in a large skillet. Cook the chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden, then set it aside.
3
Start the sauce. Sauté the garlic briefly, then pour in the stock to deglaze the pan. Add the cream, oregano, thyme and red pepper flakes.
4
Thicken. Simmer 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce thickens, then stir in parmesan until smooth.
5
Combine. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and return the chicken to the pan. Simmer 5 to 6 minutes, until the chicken reaches 165°F inside.
6
Finish. Season to taste and top with basil and extra parmesan.

Serving Suggestions
Serve Marry Me Chicken over pasta, creamy mashed potatoes, or rice to make the most of the sauce. Add a simple green salad or roasted vegetables on the side and pour a chilled glass of Riva Ranch Chardonnay to complete the meal.
