Step 1:

Preheat oven to 375°. In a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Generously season chicken with salt and black pepper and cook, turning halfway through, until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer chicken to a plate.

Step 2:

In same skillet over medium heat, heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Stir in garlic, thyme, and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in broth, tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan; season with salt. Bring to a simmer, then return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet.

Step 3:

Transfer skillet to oven. Bake chicken until cooked through and juices run clear when chicken is pierced with a knife, 10 to 12 minutes.

Step 4:

Arrange chicken on a platter. Spoon sauce over. Top with basil.

What to Serve with Marry Me Chicken:

• Melting Potatoes: Another way to soak up all that sauce in carb-form.

• Cacio E Pepe Brussels Sprouts: This also includes a mix of pecorino and Parmesan, and who can say no to more cheese?
• Garlic & Feta Mashed Potatoes: For an extra-indulgent dish, spoon the chicken and sauce on top of the potatoes.
• Garlic Bread: Keep the sides simple by toasting some garlic bread and serving alongside.
