Prep Time: 10 minutes mins Cook Time: 15 minutes mins Total Time: 25 minutes mins

Ingredients:
3 large chicken breasts boneless and skinless, sliced lengthwise into thin cutlets
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
6 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic minced
1 cup chicken stock
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup parmesan cheese grated
1 teaspoon chili flakes
¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon thyme
⅓ cup sundried tomatoes chopped
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves

Directions:
Brown the chicken on both sides until it’s golden brown, transfer onto a warm plate, cover, and set aside.

Saute the garlic for a minute or until it’s fragrant. Add the chicken stock, and deglaze the pan scraping any bits stuck to the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon. Add the heavy cream and the parmesan cheese to the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes, then season with chili flakes and oregano.

Season with salt and pepper to your taste, add the sundried tomatoes then put the chicken back in the sauce and let the sauce simmer and thicken for a few more minutes.

Marry Me Chicken is now ready! Just garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves and serve warm over pasta or rice.

Cook's Notes:
When sauteing the garlic, add a little bit of sundried tomato oil for more flavor.
