What’s in this Marry Me Chicken Recipe?
In less than an hour, turn these simple ingredients into a dish that’ll turn your next date night into the best night of your life!
Chicken: We’re using boneless, skinless breasts here, but thighs will also work. Seasonings: Salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning enhance the natural flavor of the chicken. Oil + Butter: Add great flavor and help the chicken cook without burning. Garlic: Adds an earthy flavor and a pungent aroma. Red Pepper Flakes: Add just a hint of spice! Chicken Broth: Forms the base of the sauce, enhancing the chicken flavor. Heavy Cream: Makes the sauce creamy. Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Add a burst of concentrated sweet and tangy tomato flavor. Cheese: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds a nutty and salty flavor and enhances the creaminess of the dish.
Pro Tip: Omit the red pepper flakes for a spice-free dish.
Variations on Sun Dried Tomato Chicken
There are so many ways to change up the flavor of creamy marry me chicken! Try adding the juice and zest of a lemon to the sauce for a bright and citrusy twist. Or give it a Mediterranean spin by adding Kalamata olives and feta cheese. Make the dish spicier by adding more red pepper flakes or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper.
How to Store and Reheat
Store leftover marry me chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 15-20 minutes, or in an oiled skillet set over medium-low heat until warmed through. I do not recommend freezing this recipe, as the cream sauce tends to separate and become gritty once thawed.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this rich, creamy sun dried tomato chicken with homemade pasta, basmati rice, or oven-baked risotto. Add a side of oven-roasted asparagus for a complete meal!
