Easy Marry Me Chicken Recipe (One-Pan 30-Minute Meal)

Prep: 15 minutes
Cook: 30 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  4. 4

    Stir in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.

  5. 5

    Reduce heat slightly and stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes.

  6. 6

    Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.

  7. 7

    Place the seared chicken breasts back into the skillet.

  8. 8

    Spoon sauce over the chicken, cover, and cook for 8–10 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temp 165°F).

  9. 9

    Top with fresh basil or parsley. Serve hot with pasta, rice, or crusty bread to soak up the creamy sauce.
