#1 The Viral "Marry Me" Chicken (Mama’s Style)

• Yields: 4 servings

• Prep time: 10 mins | Cook time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• 1.5 tsp K&Co. Apothecary Mama’s Italian Seasoning

• 1.5 lbs Chicken Breasts (thinly sliced or "cutlets")

• 1/2 cup All-purpose flour (for dredging)

• 2 tbsp Olive Oil

• 2 tbsp Butter

• 3 cloves Garlic, minced

• 1/2 cup Chicken Broth

• 1/2 cup Heavy Cream

• 1/3 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil, chopped)

• 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan cheese

• Fresh Basil (optional garnish)

Instructions

1. Dredge the Chicken: Season your flour with a pinch of salt. Coat the chicken cutlets in the flour, shaking off any excess.

2. The Golden Sear: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through ($165^\circ F$). Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.

3. Aromatics: In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp of butter and the minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

4. The "Mama's" Infusion: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Immediately stir in 1.5 tsp of Mama’s Italian Seasoning.

   • Pro-Tip: Stirring the herbs into the warm cream allows the essential oils in the basil and marjoram to bloom, turning the sauce a beautiful herby-gold color.

5. Simmer & Thicken: Add the sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan cheese. Lower the heat and simmer for 3–5 minutes until the sauce reduces and thickens slightly.

6. The Reunion: Place the chicken back into the skillet, spooning that rich, herbal cream sauce over the top. Let it simmer for another 2 minutes so the chicken absorbs the Mama’s Italian flavor.

7. Serve: Serve over a bed of pasta (angel hair works great) or with a crusty piece of bread to soak up the sauce.
