- You can also serve it over mashed potatoes, rice, or with crusty bread. Try making homemade breadsticks, they’re so good!
- For a low-carb meal, serve it with butternut squash or zucchini noodles, or cauliflower rice.

Serve your chicken with your favorite starch, whether that’s rice, cauliflower rice, pasta, couscous, roasted potatoes, or mashed potatoes. I also recommend serving it with your preferred vegetable side dish, like zucchini and squash, fresh green beans, grilled asparagus, roasted Brussel sprouts, or steamed broccoli.

Key Ingredients for Marry Me Chicken :
- Chicken – What’s marry me chicken without the chicken?! We use boneless, skinless chicken breasts in this recipe, but you could easily use chicken thighs (with or without bones) instead. Bone-in chicken will make your cook time a little longer!
- Sun Dried Tomatoes – A little sweet, a little tangy, and incredibly flavorful. You can use fresh tomatoes instead if you prefer or if you just don’t have sun dried tomatoes handy. They’ll have a little less flavor and tang but your marry me chicken will still be amazing!
- Heavy Cream – The thickness of the heavy cream gives the sauce a little thickness. This sauce won’t be as thick as, say, an Alfredo sauce, but the heavy cream gives it a little substance. I don’t really recommend substituting this with light cream or milk since they would change the sauce consistency. If you want to lighten up the sauce, though, you could try half-n-half. The consistency would still be a little thin, but not as much thanks to the cream in the half-n-half.
- Liquids – This is simmered in chicken broth and heavy cream. You may want to use a reduced-sodium chicken broth since you are adding a few **salty* ingredients. You can use chicken stock or vegetable broth instead.
- Cheese – freshly grated Parmesan cheese adds the most wonderful flavor to this dish. Freshly grated Parmesan also dissolved better into the cheesy sauce.
- The secret ingredient – smoky bacon bits really elevate the flavor of this dish.
- Olive oil – Use a good quality olive oil for frying.
- Optional garnish – you can use herbs fresh basil or parsley for garnish.
Make Ahead and Reheat :
This Chicken Thigh recipe is perfect for prepping ahead.
- Prep Ahead – The chicken thighs can be seasoned (or can be browned and cooled) and then refrigerated for a couple of days.
- Reheat – Slowly warm in a microwave or stovetop, but you will need to add in a little bit of chicken broth or water to thin it out

Notes
Golden Tips :
- We leave the chicken breasts whole here, but cutting them into cutlets first will shorten your cook time! Simply slice the chicken breasts in half from one side to the other (like a hamburger bun) and proceed with the recipe as written.
- For a little extra flavor, add some of the oil from the sun dried tomatoes to the skillet with the olive oil. Searing the chicken in the tomato oil gives it a really nice flavor that’s only enhanced by the sun dried tomato cream sauce.
- Freshly grated parmesan cheese will give you a much better flavor and texture than store-bought, already-grated parmesan. It’s SO easy to grate your own, too! Just grab a whole block of parmesan cheese at the store and grate it on a box grater. If you don’t have a box grater, you could use a sharp knife to slice very thin pieces of parmesan off the block.
- If you’re serving your marry me chicken immediately, cook it to 165°F internally and transfer it straight from the oven to the plate. Make sure your sides are ready to go! If you’ve got a few minutes between cooking and serving, take the chicken out of the oven when it reaches 160°F inside, then let it rest in the pan for 5 minutes or so. Since the chicken will come to temp as it rests, taking it out a little early will prevent it from being overcooked by the time you eat it.
- Taking the sauce off the heat to stir in the parmesan can keep the cheese from clumping as it melts. That’ll ensure you’ve got a beautifully smooth parmesan cream sauce for your marry me chicken! Adding the cheese in increments, stirring well and letting it melt completely before adding more, will help, too.
Storing Tips :
Store the leftovers in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or in the oven, you will need to add a splash of water to thin out the sauce as it thickens in the fridge. I don’t recommend freezing creamy sauces as they change textures to grainy when frozen.
