One Pot Marry Me Chicken Recipe

Ingredients:

• For the Chicken:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• For the Sauce:
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (additional)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained and chopped)
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Fresh basil, for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Season the Chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts on both sides with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
2. Brown the Chicken:
   • In a large skillet or pot, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat.
   • Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Prepare the Sauce:
   • In the same skillet, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil if needed. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
   • Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and cook for another 2 minutes.
   • Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
4. Make it Creamy:
   • Reduce the heat to low and stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, dried basil, and dried oregano. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened.
5. Combine and Simmer:
   • Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over the top. Let it simmer for an additional 5 minutes to heat the chicken through and allow the flavors to meld.
6. Serve:
   • Garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve the chicken with the creamy sauce over pasta, rice, or alongside vegetables.

Tips:

• Make it Spicy: Add red pepper flakes for a little heat.
• Vegetable Additions: Toss in some spinach or mushrooms for added nutrition.
• Make Ahead: This dish can be made ahead and reheated gently before serving.
