Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried thyme
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
Instructions
Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts and sear for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Reduce the heat to medium, add butter to the skillet, and melt it.
Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour the chicken broth into the skillet, scraping any browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon.
Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and thyme. Mix well until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the skillet from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve hot. Enjoy your Keto-friendly Marry Me Chicken!
