Marry Me Chicken

Directions

• Start by patting dry the chicken breasts with paper towels.

• Season them lightly on both sides with kosher salt and black pepper.

• In a large skillet, add the olive oil (or vegetable oil), and heat the oil over medium-high heat.

• Add the chicken to the pan and cook them on each side for 5-8 minutes. The chicken does not have to be fully cooked, just seared on the outside. They will finish cooking when you add them to the sauce.

• Remove the chicken from the pan while you make the sauce (Place the cooked chicken on a plate).

• Add a splash of the sun-dried tomato oil to the pan, and sauté the minced garlic over medium-high heat mixing constantly until the garlic is golden brown.

• Add the Mom’s Special Marinara Sauce, chopped dried tomatoes, dried thyme, dried oregano, grated parmesan, and chili flakes, and mix with a wooden spoon until well combined.

• Add the chicken to the creamy sauce and cover the chicken with the sauce, cover with a lid and simmer for another 10 minutes over medium-low heat until the chicken is fully cooked and the sauce is creamy.

• Note: If the sauce is too thick add a small amount of water or chicken broth till you achieve your preferred consistency.  For a creamier and thicker consistency, add heavy cream.
