How to Make Marry Me Chicken
Marry Me Chicken comes together quickly in one pan. Then chicken is seared until golden, then simmered in a creamy sauce made with parmesan, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes. As the sauce thickens, the flavors blend together and coat each piece of chicken. This simple process gives you a rich, comforting dish that tastes restaurant-worthy without extra steps.

For a lighter meal, use chicken thighs instead of breasts. You can also replace cream with half-and-half. Feel free to add spinach or mushrooms for extra flavor!
