Ingredients

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

  1. In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, paprika, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt. Mix well.
  2. Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels. Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
  3. 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.
  4. In the same skillet, add the garlic paste and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  5. Add the tomato paste to the skillet and cook for another 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  6. Pour in the low-sodium chicken broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to loosen any browned bits. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
  7. Stir in the heavy cream and grated Parmigiano Reggiano. Let the sauce simmer for a few minutes until slightly thickened.
  8. Add the sun-dried tomatoes and fresh kale to the skillet. Stir well to combine and allow the kale to wilt slightly.
  9. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the sauce. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.
  10. 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.
  11. Once done, remove the skillet from the heat. Serve the marry me chicken hot, garnished with additional grated Parmigiano Reggiano if desired.
