There are some recipes that you try for the first time and, after one bite, you just know you’re going to be making them again. That’s how I felt when I made our Chicken Cutlets with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce, also known as Marry Me Chicken (a fitting name since I fell in love with the dish!). 

But I’m not the only fan of the recipe—EatingWell readers agree.

Here’s why I love this recipe and why I know you’ll be saving it once you try it too.

What Makes Marry Me Chicken a Winning Dinner

I love this recipe because it’s quick and flavorful. It comes together in 20 minutes, which is perfect for the weeknights when I don’t have a ton of energy to cook but still want a healthy, comforting dinner. In the time it takes to make the chicken cutlets, I can also prepare microwaveable brown rice to serve alongside. It’s a perfect pairing as the brown rice soaks up the sun-dried tomato cream sauce, ensuring no drop gets left behind. 

Using chicken cutlets is a big reason for the fast cooking time. Because they’re thinner, they cook more quickly than a chicken breast would. Be sure your chicken cutlets are the same thickness to ensure they cook at an even rate. I use a meat mallet to pound the chicken cutlets, but you could also use the bottom of a sturdy pan or a rolling pin if you don’t have a mallet. 

This dinner is made in one skillet, which is not only convenient for cleanup but also makes for a more flavorful dish. Searing the chicken leaves behind fond (the caramelized brown bits at the bottom of the pan), which is then used as the base of the sauce, creating a nice depth of flavor. If you were to make the chicken and the sauce in two separate skillets, you’d lose out on that important factor. 

The key ingredient in this sauce is the sun-dried tomatoes, which provide a more concentrated flavor than a fresh tomato would. The tomatoes offer a slight tanginess, sweetness and tartness, which is balanced out well by the sharpness of the shallots and the cream in the sauce. Meanwhile, the chicken is seared in the sun-dried tomato oil, reinforcing the flavor throughout the dish, so you get sun-dried tomato goodness in every bite.
