Marry Me Chicken

Method

  1. 1

    Lay the chicken on a cutting board and season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Put the flour in a shallow bowl. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour and coat both sides. Shake off excess flour.

  3. 3

    In a large skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat making sure the oil is coating the skillet.

  4. 4

    Brown each side of the chicken for about 4 minutes until golden brown {you might need to work in batches}. Transfer the chicken to a plate, cover and set aside. In the same large skillet add 2 more tablespoons of olive oil and heat over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for 2-3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add the chicken stock and deglaze the pan making sure to remove the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

  6. 6

    Add the heavy cream and the parmesan cheese. Turn the heat to low and simmer for about 2-3 minutes stirring occasionally to incorporate the cheese. Add the red pepper chili flakes, oregano and thyme.

  7. 7

    Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and then add the chicken into the sauce. Let the sauce simmer for 2-3 more minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir in the basil leaves. Garnish with more fresh basil and thyme. Serve over orzo or pasta.

Notes

Don't overcrowd the skillet - when sautéing the chicken work in batches and allow it to properly brown. If you overload the skillet you won't get the same color on the chicken. Leftovers - Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days. When ready to enjoy heat up in a skillet over the stove, or in the microwave. Freeze - Once cooked and cooled, store the chicken in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 3 months.
