Equipment

  • 1 Large oven-safe skillet
  • 1 Preheated oven
  • 1 Cutting board
  • 1 Sharp knife
  • 1 Cheese Grater

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil (divided)
  • 4 8-ounce chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
  • 1 tbsp fresh thyme leaves
  • 1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
  • 3/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup chopped sun-dried tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan
  • Torn fresh basil (for serving)

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Generously season the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper, then cook them, turning halfway through, until golden brown (about 5 minutes per side). Transfer the chicken to a plate.
  • In the same skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Stir in the garlic, thyme, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant (about 1 minute).
  • Stir in the chicken broth, sun-dried tomatoes, cream, and grated Parmesan. Season with salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer, then return the chicken and any accumulated juices to the skillet.
  • Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken until it’s cooked through and the juices run clear when pierced with a knife (10 to 12 minutes).
  • Arrange the chicken on a platter, spoon the sauce over it, and top with torn fresh basil.
  • Plate the Marry Me Chicken with extra sauce.
  • Pair it with your favorite sides (rice, roasted veggies, bread, salad, pasta, or mashed potatoes).
  • Serve hot and enjoy.
