It really is that good.

Garlic, sundried tomatoes, red pepper flakes, parmesan cheese, and heavy cream all come together to create this decadent keto chicken dish that nobody can get enough of.

INGREDIENTS IN EASY MARRY ME CHICKEN

Olive Oil - Sear your chicken in olive oil before making the delicious sauce.

Chicken Breasts - Boneless chicken breasts work really well for this recipe as they cook evenly and are already perfectly portioned.

Salt - Proper seasoning is key to making marry me chicken.

Pepper - Another needed seasoning for your chicken breasts.

Garlic - Minced garlic, and a good amount of it, is part of what makes this chicken so amazingly flavorful.

Thyme - Dried thyme adds an herbal warmth to the sauce.

Oregano - Dried Oregano works with the thyme to amp up the savory flavors of the dish.

Red Pepper Flakes - We use ½ of a teaspoon to add just a little bit of heat. Add more or less to your liking.

Chicken Broth - We suggest using a low sodium broth so you can control the amount of salt in the dish.

Heavy Cream - This is what gives the sauce for the chicken its smooth creamy texture.

Sundried Tomatoes - This is probably the star ingredient in this dish. Sundried tomatoes have a sour tang to them that elevates the flavors perfectly.

Parmesan Cheese - Parmesan adds umami flavor and helps to thicken the sauce.

For a full and filling keto meal, serve this chicken with your favorite vegetables or cauliflower rice to soak up all of the delicious sauce.

WHAT KIND OF CHICKEN SHOULD I USE FOR MARRY ME CHICKEN

Boneless, skinless chicken breasts are used to make this version of Keto Marry Me Chicken, and this recipe is designed for that.

If you want to, you can use other boneless cuts of chicken such as boneless thighs or chicken tenderloins. The cook time for those should be about the same, but always check for doneness of 165F with chicken.

Using any bone in cuts of chicken will make the cook time longer, but I'd love to hear if you've tried it.
