Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 tsp dried basil
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- ½ tsp dried thyme
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil leaves, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, coating both sides.
- In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
- Reduce the heat to medium and pour in the chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Simmer for about 5 minutes until the liquid reduces slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream, grated Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, dried basil, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
- Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken breasts.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and slightly golden
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves, if desired.
- Serve the Marry Me chicken with your favourite sides, such as rice or pasta, and enjoy!
