🍗 Marry Me Chicken

Creamy Tuscan-style chicken with sun-dried tomatoes and garlic in a luscious Parmesan cream sauce.

---

Ingredients:

• 2–3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)

• Salt & black pepper

• 1/2 tsp chili flakes (optional, for a mild kick)

• 2 tbsp olive oil

• 2–3 garlic cloves, minced

• 1/2 cup chicken broth

• 3/4 cup heavy cream

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained)

• 1 tsp dried oregano or Italian seasoning

• Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

---

Instructions:

1. Prep & Sear Chicken:

   • Season chicken with salt, pepper, and chili flakes.

   • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken 4–5 min per side until golden (it doesn’t have to be fully cooked yet). Remove and set aside.

2. Make the Sauce:

   • In the same pan, lower heat slightly and sauté garlic for 30 seconds.

   • Add broth to deglaze the pan. Simmer for 1–2 min.

   • Stir in cream, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, and oregano. Let simmer until thickened (about 3–4 min).

3. Finish the Chicken:

   • Return chicken to the pan. Simmer in the sauce for 10–12 minutes, or until fully cooked and sauce is silky and reduced.

4. Garnish & Serve:

   • Top with fresh basil or parsley.

   • Serve over mashed potatoes, pasta, rice, or crusty bread.
