Instructions
Follow these detailed instructions to make your Marry Me Chicken:
Step 1: Season the Chicken
Start by generously seasoning the chicken thighs with onion powder, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, black pepper, paprika, and Italian herbs. Ensure each thigh is evenly coated with the seasonings to infuse maximum flavor.
Step 2: Pan-Sear the Chicken
Heat a good amount of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the seasoned chicken thighs. Pan-sear the chicken on both sides until they are golden brown, which should take about 5-7 minutes per side. Transfer the seared chicken to a separate baking dish and set it aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Sauce
In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt. Once melted, add the fresh minced garlic and sauté for about 3 minutes until fragrant. Next, pour in the chicken broth, allowing it to deglaze the pan. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and heavy whipping cream, stirring to combine.
Step 4: Simmer the Sauce
