Marry Me Chicken

A classic internet recipe adapted to my own tastes

Before getting started with this recipe, I must credit the original recipe, as it is a classic and this dish is heavily based on it. I really liked the dish, but felt that I could give it a bit of a twist to suit my own taste. From that, this recipe spawned into existence.

Ingredients

  • Boneless chicken breasts.
  • Butter
  • Flour (optional, you can skip this step, but it makes chicken juicier)
  • Garlic
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
  • Thyme
  • Oregano
  • Red pepper flakes (can sub with chili powder)
  • Chicken broth
  • Sun-dried tomatoes
  • Heavy cream
  • Grated parmesan
  • Parsley (fresh, for garnish, optional)
  • Extra virgin olive oil (optional)

Cooking plan

  • Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celcius.
  • Start by seasoning your chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
  • Melt some butter in an oven-proof pan on high heat. Meanwhile, coat your chicken in flour.
  • Cook your chicken until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes on both sides). Remove from pan and let rest on a plate afterwards.
  • Chop up some garlic and a lot of sun-dried tomatoes, and add them to your pan on medium-low heat.
  • Next, add your heavy cream, thyme, oregano and red pepper flakes (or chili powder).
  • Grate some parmesan and add it to your sauce and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Finally, put your chicken back into the pan and cover in the sauce. Put it into the oven for about 10 minutes, until the sauce has achieved a desireable color.
  • Can be served with pasta, bread or just eaten like this.

ENJOY!!
