Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ⅓ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 cup fresh spinach or basil

Method
 

  1. Season the chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge lightly in flour.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium-high and sear the chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden. Remove and set aside.
  3. Melt the butter in the same pan and cook the garlic until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up the browned bits, then stir in the cream, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.
  5. Simmer 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens, then stir in the spinach or basil.
  6. Return the chicken to the pan, spoon the sauce over, and simmer until it reaches 165°F. Serve over pasta or rice.

Notes

Keep it halal by using chicken broth in place of the white wine many versions call for. Serve over pasta for marry me chicken pasta, or add extra broth and cream for a cozy marry me chicken soup.
