Marry Me Chicken

THIS dish! It is a creamy, flavorful chicken dish so sensational that, as the name suggests, cooking it for someone might just lead to a proposal. It's a one-skillet, crowd-pleasing meal that’s both indulgent and remarkably simple to prepare. It can be ready in under 30 minutes or in a slow cooker for 6 hours, which is what I prefer!

Ingredients:

• 2 pounds of organic chicken thighs

• ½ tsp. Celtic salt

• ¼ tsp. ground black pepper

• 6 Tbsp. GF flour (I like King Arthur)

• 2 Tbsp. olive oil

• 2 Tbso. grass-fed butter

• 3 cloves minced garlic

• 1 c. pastured organic chicken stock

• 1 c. organic heavy cream

• ½ c. grated Parmesan cheese

• 1 tsp. chili flakes

• 1/4 tsp. oregano

• 1/4 tsp. thyme

• 1/3 c. sundried tomatoes, chopped

• 1 Tbsp. organic basil leaves

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper, then dredge in flour and shake off any excess.

• In a large skillet, heat olive oil & melt the butter on medium heat.

• Brown the chicken (do not overcrowd and work in batches if needed) for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer onto a plate, cover, and set aside.

• Sauté the garlic for a minute or until it's fragrant. Add the chicken stock, and deglaze the pan.

• Adjust the heat to medium-low, and add the heavy cream and the parmesan cheese to the skillet. Allow the sauce to simmer for a couple of minutes, then season with chili flakes, thyme, and oregano.

• Season with salt and pepper to your taste, add the sundried tomatoes, then put the chicken back in the sauce and let the sauce simmer and thicken for a few more minutes.

• Garnish with chopped fresh basil leaves & serve warm over pasta or rice.

• If using a slow-cooker, I add everything into the pot (except the basil and I add the heavy cream at the end) and let go for 4-6 hours!
