All right, so picture this: tender, juicy chicken breasts smothered in a creamy, savoury sauce that's just bursting with flavour. That's "Marry Me Chicken" in a nutshell. It's basically the dish that makes you want to propose on the spot after the first bite! With its mix of garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, and herbs all mingling together in a luscious sauce, it's a total game-changer for any dinner table.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts
- salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 50g (1.8 oz) butter
- 200g (7 oz) plain flour
- 6 cloves garlic, finely crushed
- 200g (7 oz) sun-dried tomatoes, cut into strips
- 1 tbsp oregano
- 500ml (approx. 17 fl oz) chicken stock
- 220ml (approx. 7.4 fl oz) cream
- pasta of your choice, to serve
- fresh basil to garnish
Directions
Season the chicken breasts well with salt and pepper on both sides, then lightly dust with flour.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter starts to foam and bubble, add your chicken breasts and sear on both sides until you have a good colour. Once done, remove from the pan and set aside.
Add the crushed garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute. Then add the sun-dried tomatoes and oregano. Stir well and cook for another minute before adding the chicken stock. Reduce by half. After the chicken stock has reduced, add the cream and stir well before adding the chicken breasts back to the pan. Simmer on low with the lid on until the chicken breasts are fully cooked, which should only take 8-10 minutes.
- Serve the chicken with lots of the sauce and pasta of your choice. Garnish with some basil.
