Marry Me Chicken

Original Recipe Makes 4 servings

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1½ teaspoons salt
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup chicken stock
• 1 teaspoon chicken stock powder
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 (200g) jar sun-dried tomatoes, drained and roughly chopped
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning (rosemary, thyme, oregano, etc.)
• ½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• ¼ cup thinly sliced basil leaves
• Cooked pasta or mashed potatoes, for serving (optional)

Directions

1. Pat the chicken dry. Season all over with 1 teaspoon salt.
2. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Once the oil is glistening, add the chicken and cook about 5 minutes per side, or until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a plate.
3. Add the garlic to the same skillet and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in heavy cream, chicken stock, chicken stock powder, ¼ cup of the parmesan cheese, sun dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, pepper, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, and remaining salt until fully combined.
4. Return the chicken to the skillet. Bring the sauce to a simmer, then reduce the heat to medium low. Cook until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F on an instant-read thermometer, about 5 minutes more.
5. Top chicken with basil, remaining Parmesan cheese, and remaining red pepper flakes and serve over pasta or mashed potatoes, if desired.
