Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- 1 teaspoon salt

- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

- 1/2 teaspoon paprika

- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

- 1 cup chicken broth

- 1/2 cup heavy cream

- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

- Fresh basil leaves for garnish                                

 Method:

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, paprika, dried thyme, and red pepper flakes. Make sure to season both sides evenly.

2. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside on a plate.

3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

4. Add the cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the cherry tomatoes start to soften.                      

5. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

6. Add the grated Parmesan cheese and continue to cook, stirring, until the cheese has melted into the sauce and the sauce has thickened slightly. This usually takes about 5 minutes.

7. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat the chicken through.

8. Garnish with fresh basil leaves.

9. Serve the Marry Me Chicken hot, either over pasta or with a side of vegetables or a salad.
