Equipment

large frying pan

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
½ cup plain flour (all purpose flour)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 small onion chopped
1 clove garlic minced
⅔ cup chicken stock
⅔ cup thickened cream (heavy cream)
1 tablespoon tomato paste
⅓ cup grated parmesan cheese
¼ teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon dried chilli flakes
⅓ cup sundried tomatoes, chopped (50 grams)
1 tablespoon fresh basil leaves (or 1 teaspoon dried basil)
salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

Carefully slice each chicken breast through the centre horizontally to create two flatter chicken cutlets.
Using the smooth side of a meat mallet (or a rolling pin, a small frypan or something similar) gently pound the cutlets so they are an even thickness. You should end up with 4 chicken cutlets.
Place the flour on a large plate and dredge (lightly coat the chicken cutlets) in flour.
Heat oil and butter over med-high heat in a large frypan. Cook the chicken cutlets for about 4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through.
Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.
Add onion and garlic to pan and saute for a couple of minutes.
Add oregano, thyme and chilli flakes and saute for 30 seconds.
Add stock and bring to a simmer.
Add cream and tomato paste and bring to a simmer.
Add parmesan cheese and stir over heat to combine.
Add sundried tomatoes and add chicken back into frypan. Season with salt and pepper. Simmer for a few minutes, spooning the mixture over the chicken.
Rip up basil leaves with your hands and garnish before serving.

Notes

Serving: Serve Marry Me Chicken, also known as Sicilian Chicken, with potato mash, rice or pasta. You could also add some broccoli or other greens on the side.

Storing: It is best served immediately, however you can refrigerate for up to 2 days. Just make sure you reheat thoroughly before serving. You can also freeze Marry Me Chicken in an airtight container. Defrost in the fridge overnight and, again, remember to reheat thoroughly before serving.

Tip: If the sauce starts to split during the cooking process, quickly whisk to restore it to a creamy sauce.
