Keto Marry Me Chicke

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup chicken broth
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
• 1 cup fresh spinach (optional)
• Fresh basil or parsley for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare the chicken:
   • Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear the chicken:
   • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
   • Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the sauce:
   • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
   • Pour in the chicken broth and deglaze the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
   • Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and crushed red pepper flakes. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
4. Add sun-dried tomatoes and spinach:
   • Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes and spinach (if using). Let the spinach wilt for a minute.
5. Return chicken to the skillet:
   • Place the chicken breasts back into the skillet, spoon some sauce over the top, and let them simmer in the sauce for about 8-10 minutes until the chicken is fully cooked (internal temperature reaches 165°F).
6. Garnish and serve:
   • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve hot, and enjoy!

Tips:

• You can serve this with cauliflower rice or zoodles for a complete keto meal.
• Feel free to adjust the spice level by adding or reducing red pepper flakes.
