Marry Me Chicken

Golden, juicy chicken coated in a simple creamy sauce with tomatoes, garlic, and thyme. I love this with mashed potatoes and a salad! This is just so good.

I’m writing the recipe to use a can of petite diced tomatoes because it’s the most widely available (and delicious). But if you can get your hands on those DeLallo bruschetta tomatoes, you will enjoy those in this recipe.

This is a recipe to make when you feel like you just need a little just-because joy, or something extra special, or, obviously, want someone to marry you.

I love this chicken with mashed potatoes and a simple green salad. We pull out the candles and the placemats for this one. And we’re never not lingering at the table to lick up every last drop of sauce.

Welcome To My Home! Let’s Make This Chicken.

1

Get it all ready to go.

Prep the chicken. Thinly slice some garlic. Drain your tomatoes.

Get these three going over low heat to start to develop some flavor.

Add Cream, Broth, and Thyme.

Whisk and then let it all simmer up for a while so it can thicken into a nice sauce.

If you’re air frying the chicken, like I do, you can start that now while the sauce cooks.
