Marry Me Chicken Thighs (Even Better)
(379)
35 min4520 calThe original Marry Me Chicken uses chicken breast — this version uses bone-in thighs and it's genuinely superior. Thighs don't dry out, the fat renders into the cream sauce, and the extra cooking time builds deeper flavour. Sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, heavy cream, Parmesan, and fresh basil create a sauce that's so good it supposedly inspired marriage proposals. Serve over pasta or with crusty bread to mop up every drop of sauce.

Pro Tips
- 💡Prep all your ingredients before you start cooking — weeknight speed depends on having everything ready to go.
- 💡A hot pan is essential for good searing. If the chicken doesn't sizzle when it hits the pan, your pan isn't hot enough yet.
- 💡Chicken thighs are more forgiving than breast for weeknight cooking — they stay juicy even if you get distracted for a few minutes.
Variations
- 🔄Swap chicken for shrimp for a lighter, faster version of most weeknight recipes.
- 🔄Meal prep the seasoned chicken the night before — the marinade develops and you save 10 minutes at dinnertime.
- 🔄Serve over cauliflower rice instead of regular rice for a lower-carb option.
