Marry Me Chicken
Ingredients:
• 650 g chicken breast, skinless and boneless.
• 50 g plain flour.
• 1 tbsp olive oil.
• 3 garlic cloves, peeled and crushed.
• 150 g sun-dried tomatoes, drained.
• 1 tsp dried oregano.
• 2 tsp paprika.
• 150 ml double cream.
• 200 ml chicken stock.
• 50 g Parmesan cheese, grated.
• 15 g fresh basil leaves.
• 1/2 lemon, juiced.
• Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Instructions:
• Coat the chicken breasts evenly with the flour, ensuring a light, even dusting.
• In a large, deep frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook them for 5 minutes on each side until they are golden brown.
• Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside. Reduce the heat to low and add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and paprika to the pan. Stir gently for 3-5 minutes till the garlic softens and releases its aroma.
• Pour in the cream and chicken stock, adding the grated Parmesan. Stir everything well, allowing the sauce to come together beautifully.
• Return the chicken to the pan, ensuring they are nestled comfortably in the sauce. Cover with a lid and let simmer for 5 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
• Check the chicken to ensure it is thoroughly cooked. Remove the pan from heat, sprinkle with fresh basil leaves, and finish with a squeeze of lemon juice.
• Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious meal!.
