    Marry Me Chicken

    Golden, juicy chicken coated in a simple creamy sauce with tomatoes, garlic, and thyme. I like it with mashed potatoes and a salad! This is just so good.

    Ingredients

    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced (note 1)
    • 1 tablespoon tomato paste (note 2)
    • 1 cup heavy cream
    • 1 cup chicken broth
    • a few sprigs of thyme 
    • 1 14.5-ounce jar petite diced tomatoes, drained thoroughly (note 3)
    • salt to taste (note 4)
    • a batch of air fryer chicken (note 5)

    Instructions

    1. 1

      Heat a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the butter, garlic, and tomato paste; sauté for a few minutes until it’s all soft and fragrant. 

    2. 2

      Add the cream; whisk to get the tomato paste smooth. Add the broth and thyme sprigs; simmer for 10-15 minutes to thicken the sauce until it reduces and clings to the back of a spoon. (If you’re using the air fryer chicken, now is a good time to start that.)

    3. 3

      Pop your drained diced tomatoes in the sauce and stir them in. Tuck the cooked chicken into the sauce and spoon a bit of sauce over the top. 

    4. 4

      Sprinkle some thyme, parsley, or basil over the top to make it look pretty. Serve the pieces of chicken with spoonfuls of the sauce over rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes (personal fave) and a side salad for a beautiful, mega delicious meal.
