Instructions
Creating this incredible Marry Me Chicken is both straightforward and enjoyable. Follow these steps:
1. Heat Olive Oil: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil.
2. Sauté Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Add them to the skillet and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes, allowing their flavors to meld.
5. Create Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir while scraping any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet to combine flavors.
6. Season: Add dried oregano, dried basil, and more salt and pepper to taste.
7. Bring to Simmer: Allow the sauce to come to a simmer, then cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing it to thicken slightly.
8. Add Chicken Again: Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them in the sauce.
9. Add Parmesan: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the chicken, stirring gently to incorporate.
10. Serve Warm: Allow to simmer for an extra minute before serving, garnished with fresh basil if desired.
