Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons butter
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil), chopped
1 cup heavy cream (double cream/thickened cream)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
2 cups baby spinach
Cooking spray

Instructions
Step 1: Prep and Cook the Chicken
Slice the Chicken: Lay one chicken breast flat on a cutting board. Hold your knife parallel to the board and carefully slice through the thickest part of the chicken breast horizontally. For thinner and more tender slices, place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Season and Coat: Season the chicken slices with salt and pepper. Then, coat them lightly in flour.

Pan Fry the Chicken: In a large nonstick pan, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken slices and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the pan and place it on a large plate. Tent with foil to keep warm.

Step 2: Prepare the Sauce
Cook Garlic: In the same pan, add a bit more butter if needed, and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Add Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil) and cook for another minute.

Add Cream and Parmesan: Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Add Spinach: Add the baby spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3: Combine and Serve
Return Chicken to Pan: Place the cooked chicken back into the pan, turning to coat each piece with the sauce. Let it simmer for an additional minute to reheat the chicken and meld the flavors.

Serve: Serve the Marry Me Chicken over pasta, mashed potatoes, rice, or a low-carb option like cauliflower rice. The creamy sauce acts as a perfect complement to any side.
