Introduction

Quick & Creamy Marry Me Chicken is the kind of dish that lives up to its fairytale name—it’s irresistibly luscious, remarkably easy, and ready in just 30 minutes. Bursting with juicy chicken, a rich parmesan cream sauce, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and fresh herbs, this dinner is sure to win over even the toughest crowd. If you’re looking for a meal that’s both elegant and warmly comforting, this is the ultimate crowd-pleaser.

What Makes Marry Me Chicken So Irresistible?

The secret to this recipe’s popularity lies in the perfect balance of flavors and textures. Pan-seared, succulent chicken breasts serve as the star, soaking up a silky sauce made from cream, parmesan, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. A hint of chili flakes and Italian seasoning elevates the dish, while fresh basil adds a burst of color and aroma. Plus, it all comes together in one pan, making weeknight cooking (and cleanup) a breeze.

Prepping Chicken & Veggies Rapidly

Speed matters for busy nights. To prep your chicken and vegetables quickly and safely, use a sturdy Bamboo Cutting Boards for Kitchen, Set of 3 to avoid cross-contamination and make quick work of your chopping. If your recipe calls for diced onions or diced bell peppers, a Mueller Pro-Series 10-in-1, 8 Blade Vegetable Chopper will slash your prep time.

Building the Creamy Sauce

Once you’ve pan-seared the chicken, you’ll whisk in heavy cream, parmesan, and a handful of sun-dried tomatoes (be sure to drain off excess oil for the best consistency!). A quick simmer transforms these simple ingredients into an ultra-creamy, savory sauce that hugs every bite of chicken. Use a reliable SENSARTE Nonstick Frying Pan Skillet, 9.5 Inch to ensure nothing sticks and everything cooks evenly.

Marry Me Chicken is delicious served over pasta, creamy mashed potatoes, or fluffy rice. To portion leftovers or prep lunches, stash extra sauce and chicken in Rubbermaid Brilliance Food Storage Containers, Set of 5 (3.2 Cup)—the airtight seal keeps everything perfectly fresh.
