Marry Me Chicken went viral for a reason — it's a skillet of golden seared chicken swimming in a creamy garlic sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh basil, and Parmesan.
The sauce comes together in the same pan. Deglaze the chicken fond with broth, add cream, and let it reduce to a thick, spoonable consistency.
Serve over pasta, mashed potatoes, or with crusty bread to soak up every drop.
