“Marry me chicken”
This Sauce is Delicious - can not verify it’s claim to be the “original Marry Me chicken” by Delish.
I made this sauce and put it over precooked chicken cubes that we buy at Makro. Our young adult budget got cut so i am trying to use everything I have in the house. I had the box shelf-cream, the chicken and a jar of sun dried tomatoes. It needed more tomatoes for the quantity I was doing so I added a can of cubed tomatoes from my cupboard. Emptying the cupboard never tasted so good.
(I also times multiplied by 4)
This is the website photo. My chicken was cubed.
Ingredients
3Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
1tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (I used less)
3/4cup low-sodium chicken broth
1/2cup finely chopped sun-dried tomatoes
1/2cup heavy cream
1/4cup finely grated Parmesan
Torn fresh basil, for serving (I bought this!)
Directions - as written by Delish:
Arrange a rack in center of oven; preheat to 375°. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 Tbsp. oil. Generously season chicken with salt and black pepper and cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.
In same skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 2 Tbsp. oil. Stir in garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan; season with salt. Bring to a simmer, then return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet.
Transfer skillet to oven. Bake chicken until cooked through and an instant-read thermometer inserted into thickest part registers 165°, 10 to 12 minutes.
Arrange chicken on a platter. Spoon sauce over. Top with basil.
Directions of what I did:
Put the oil in the pot with the garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cooked for 1 minute. Stirred in Bouillon cubes and water. Stirred in canned tomatoes and sundried tomatoes. Warmed this for a few minutes. Added cream, parmesean, and salt. From here I took the sauce in an Ikea bucket to the church.
I put the sauce in a pot on the church “warming stove” and put all the cubed chicken in with it and warmed it.
We served it over white rice - because that is what they like!
Easy-Peasy. love that!
