Units
Scale
- 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 lb of boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons garlic paste
- 1/4 cup tomato paste
- 1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream (for a lighter option, consider substituting with a low-fat cream or a dairy-free alternative)
- 1/4 cup grated parmigiano reggiano
- 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped (ensure no added sugar)
- 2 cups fresh kale
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well.
- Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the garlic paste and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the tomato paste to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
- Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh kale to the skillet. Stir well to combine and allow the kale to wilt slightly.
- Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.
- Cover the skillet and let the chicken simmer in the sauce for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until the chicken is heated through and the flavors have melded together.
- Once done, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the marry me chicken hot, garnished with additional grated Parmigiano Reggiano if desired.
