    Using sun-dried tomatoes in a dish is a first for me and wow, the flavor it gives to the dish is amazing. Along with thyme, it is phenomenal.

    Growing up in a humble Filipino household, the only recipes I am familiar with are chicken adobo, tinola, fried, and inasal (bbq).

    Living in America with unfamiliar food ingredients, I am forced to learn other ways to cook chicken.

    I observe that a lot of the western recipes for chicken often use cream and Parmesan cheese. Chicken perfectly tastes awesome with cheese surprisingly. You could never go wrong with cream and cheese when it comes to cooking I realize.

    We never had herbs and spices with our food except for salt and pepper and chili. But knowing how these herbs and spices can upgrade the food, I am not going back to plain salt and pepper.

    Marry me chicken recipe is somewhat similar to creamy mushroom chicken. Both dishes use cream and cheese in the recipe, slightly different other ingredients but the method of cooking is the same - sear and bake.

    This chicken recipe is an original by Delish. I always wanted to try it for quite some time and finally, I did and I am not disappointed.

    This recipe is perfect for date night, any special day or family dinner. The family will surely love this recipe for marry me chicken.

    What are the ingredients for marry me chicken recipe?

    For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients. The ingredients are listed according to the order of use.

    chicken recipe with sun-dried tomatoes

    1 tablespoon olive oil or any cooking oil available

    2 pounds chicken thigh, bone-in, skin-on. 2 pounds is approximately 6 pieces of chicken. You can also use chicken breast.

    1/2 teaspoon salt

    1/2 teaspoon pepper

    2 teaspoon minced garlic or 2 cloves

    1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme or dry thyme

    3/4 cup chicken broth

    1/2 cup heavy cream or heavy whipping cream

    1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes

    1/4 - 1/2 cup shredded or grated Parmesan cheese, divided

    Sear and Bake

    Making this simple baked chicken recipe is easy to do, just follow the instructions below.

    • Preheat oven at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. I always recommend using an oven thermometer to get the exact temperature. If you don't have a thermometer, preheat the oven for at least 15 minutes.
    • While the oven is preheating, heat oil in an oven-safe pan or skillet on your stovetop over medium heat. Sear (lightly fry) the chicken until golden brown each side approximately 3-5 minutes. Season the chicken with salt and pepper while searing.
    • Remove chicken from the pan and set aside. Remove excess oil from the pan.
    • Using the same pan/skillet, saute garlic, thyme, and red pepper for a minute.
    • Pour in the liquid ingredients - broth and cream. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and 1/4 cup parmesan cheese. Reserve the other 1/4 cup parmesan for garnishing. Season with more salt and pepper as desired. Simmer for 2 minutes.
    • Put back the chicken to the oven-safe pan/skillet with the skin side up and bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes.
    • Add more Parmesan cheese as garnish.
