Marry Me Chicken

Public

Creamy sun-dried tomato chicken baked in a rich garlic-Parmesan sauce with thyme, red pepper flakes, and a splash of chicken broth. The chicken is seared until golden, finished in the oven until tender, then served with the warm cream sauce spooned over the top and finished with torn fresh basil and black pepper.
