Marry Me Chicken
A dish so delicious the person you are cooking it for may propose afterwards! This Marry Me Chicken has been super popular in recent years and so this in my take on it, ready in time for Valentine's Day! Most recipes out there serve 2, and are cooked in a pan on the hob first before being placed in the oven- as we need to serve 4 in my house that did not work for us as we did not have a pan big enough and the first attempt resulted in a lot of sauce burning to the base of the oven! I hope your family enjoys this as much as mine does!
Serves: 4
Prep: 10 Mins
Cooking Time: 30 Mins
Ready In: 35 Mins
- 4 Chicken Breasts
- 1 Jar Sundried Tomatoes (~280g)
- 300ml Double Cream
- 300ml Stock
- 1/2 Tbsp Tomato Puree
- 100g Grated Parmesan
- 1tsp Oregano
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- Black Pepper
- Place 4 chicken breasts in a roasting tin or pyrex dish. Season with black pepper to taste then pop in a preheated oven at 200C/ 180 C Fan/ Gas 6 for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce. Firstly remove the sundried tomatoes from the jar and discard the oil. Finely chop/mince the tomatoes then finely mince or crush the garlic.
- In a large bowl or measuring jug add the stock, cream, tomato puree, grated parmesan, oregano, garlic and sundried tomatoes. Give it a stir.
- After the chicken has been in the oven for 20 minutes, add the sauce, then return to the oven for a further 10-15 minutes. The sauce should be bubbling, and may have started to go a little golden.
- Serve with some tagliatelle and green vegetables (we used asparagus and green beans here).

Additional Information
Please be aware that sundried tomatoes are a little high in salt, therefore I do not advise adding any extra to this dish- especially if you are serving small children. This does make a lot of sauce- you won't be sorry though!
