"Marry Me Chicken" is a recipe that typically consists of seared chicken breasts that are cooked in a creamy garlic and sundried tomato sauce. The sauce is made by sautéing garlic and sundried tomatoes in butter or oil, then adding heavy cream, chicken broth, and seasonings like salt, pepper, and Italian herbs. The seared chicken is then added back to the pan and simmered in the sauce until cooked through. The dish gets its name from the idea that it's so delicious, it could inspire someone to propose marriage after eating it.
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
