Steps
Coat the chicken breasts in the flour.
In a large, deep frying pan, heat the oil over a medium heat. When it's hot, carefully add the chicken breasts. Cook for 5 minutes. Flip and cook for a further 5 minutes.
Remove the chicken breasts to a plate, turn the heat under the pan to low and add the garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano and paprika. Stir for 3-5 minutes until the garlic is softened.
Add the cream, stock, parmesan and plenty of salt and pepper and give everything a good stir.
Sit the chicken back in the sauce. Put the lid on the pan and cook for 5 minutes. Turn the chicken and cook for another 5 minutes.
Check the chicken is cooked through. Remove the pan from the heat, sprinkle over the basil leaves and the squeeze of half a lemon.

Donna on 2025-10-02 (5 stars): I normally use another Marry Me chicken recipe but I was wanting something quicker and found this site from a Google search. It is the best ever! Absolutely delicious and will be making it this from now on. When adding the chicken back to the pan, I added some julienne carrots and some broccoli. Now to try other recipes here!

Bethiah on 2025-09-13 (5 stars): My mom is coming to visit us in Florida. Of all the delicious foods she could request we make while she's here, she sent me a screenshot of your recipe so I found the rest of your post by googling your name and recipe title (AI couldn't even find it, so silly) I am so excited to make this, my mom said it is amazing and easy! Thank you for being a part of our family history through your passion!

Cathy on 2025-09-01 (5 stars): This is a real favourite in our home. It's rich and delicious. I have substituted the sun dried tomatoes for red pesto in the past which works just fine.
Briana Kuhn on 2025-08-23 (2 stars): The dish overall was ok but It hurt my boyfriend's stomach. He asked if it was marry me or die chicken and if he had to propose to get the antidote?
gina sense on 2025-08-07 (5 stars): Hi Sarah
Ive tried this recipe before and is absolutely delicious. My husband likes also especially when he doesn’t say anything and just eats everything.
Thanks Sarah!
