Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs
  • 1/3 cup sundried tomatoes, chopped
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Flour, for dredging
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken stock (or water with chicken bullion)
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
  • Dash of dried thyme and oregano

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Chop sundried tomatoes and season chicken thighs with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, ensuring even coating.

  2. Cooking Chicken: In a medium or large pan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter. Brown the chicken for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.

  3. Creating the Sauce: Add minced garlic to the pan, sauté for less than a minute. Pour in 1 cup of chicken stock (or water with chicken bullion) to deglaze the pan. Stir in 1 cup of heavy cream and 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese. Lower heat to medium-low, allowing the sauce to simmer.

  4. Infusing Flavors: Add a dash of dried thyme and oregano to the simmering sauce. Stir in the chopped sundried tomatoes.

  5. Returning Chicken: Place the browned chicken back into the pan. Let it simmer for an additional 3 to 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken and infuse with flavors.

  6. Serving: Serve the Marry Me Chicken over a bed of instant mashed potatoes. Enjoy your festive and flavorful feast!
