Making Marry Me Chicken – Anniversary Edition is a delightful experience when you follow these easy steps:

1. Prep Chicken: Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Sear Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown. Remove chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add Liquid Ingredients: Pour in the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the pan to release the browned bits for added flavor. Allow it to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
5. Stir in Cream: Lower the heat and add in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine.
6. Add Spices: Incorporate the dried thyme and basil. Stir until the mixture is well blended and slightly thickened, about 2-4 minutes.
7. Incorporate Sun-Dried Tomatoes: Add in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and fresh spinach, cooking until the spinach wilts.
8. Return Chicken: Place the seared chicken back into the skillet. Cover it with the creamy sauce and simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
9. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese on top, allowing it to melt into the sauce before serving.
10. Serve Warm: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.

With these straightforward steps, you can confidently create an incredible dish that speaks volumes.
