Ingredients

For the Chicken

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 teaspoon salt

½ teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon paprika

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

For the Cream Sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

⅓ cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh basil or parsley, chopped


Instructions


1. Season the Chicken

Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt, pepper and paprika.


2. Sear

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.


3. Make the Sauce

Reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Stir in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the pan.


4. Add the Cream

Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted. Add the sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes.


5. Finish Cooking

Return the chicken to the skillet. Simmer for 8 - 10 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the sauce has thickened.


6. Garnish & Serve

Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley. Serve over fettuccine, mashed potatoes, rice or with crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.


Tips for the Best Marry Me Chicken

Use freshly grated Parmesan for a smooth creamy sauce.

Don't overcook the chicken to keep it juicy.

Add spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor and nutrition.

Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat gently over low heat.


This creamy Marry Me Chicken is rich, comforting, and perfect for date nights, family dinners or special occasions.


Helpful Amazon Pick: A large non-stick deep saute pan with a lid makes it easy to sear the chicken evenly and simmer the creamy sauce without sticking.
