Chicken breasts - We use boneless, skinless here, but boneless, skinless thighs also work. Feel free to pound the chicken breast a little thinner so they cook more quickly and evenly. Garlic - 3 cloves is what we call for, but as always will be plenty, but there's always room for if you love garlic. Heavy cream - We don't recommend subbing the heavy cream here.
It's what creates the luscious, creamy sauce. Parmesan cheese - This will also help thicken and flavor the sauce. We always recommend freshly grated, because the pre-grated has anti clumping agents in it that will not melt in with your sauce as well. Sun-dried tomatoes - These are gonna get chopped up, so feel free to get the halves if you want, also we love the ones packed in oil. Italian seasoning - If you don't have this on hand, you can always swap with a little dried thyme.
Red pepper flakes optional - This just adds a little heat, skip it if you want. Fresh basil - You could also top with some fresh minced parsley if that's all you have on hand, but we love the taste of fresh basil, nothing compares.
Set them aside. Make the creamy Marry Me Chicken sauce. Add the chicken to the sauce. Tongs affiliate link are your friend!
