kcalIngredients
3–4 medium potatoes, diced into tiny chunks
1–2 tbsp olive oil
Salt & pepper
For the Marry Me Chicken:
1 medium onion, thinly sliced
2 chicken breasts, sliced into bite-sized pieces
1 can sun-dried tomatoes (with oil)
1 tbsp tomato paste
1 cup heavy cream
½–1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt & pepper
Optional: red pepper flakes, garlic powder, Italian seasoning
Directions
- Make the crispy potatoes: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Toss the tiny potato cubes with olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Spread them out on a baking sheet and roast for 25–35 minutes, stirring halfway, until golden and crispy.
- Once done, scoop them into bowls so they’re ready for topping.
- Make the Marry Me Chicken: Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a little of the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes.
- Add the sliced onions and cook until softened and lightly golden.
- Add the chicken and season with salt & pepper. Cook until the chicken is no longer pink.
- Stir in the tomato paste and let it toast for a minute.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes (chop them smaller if you prefer), including a little of the oil for flavour.
- Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine.
- Add the parmesan and let everything simmer for 3–5 minutes, until the sauce thickens and becomes silky.
- Taste and adjust seasoning — more salt, pepper, chili flakes, or parmesan as needed.
- Assemble
- Scoop the creamy marry-me chicken right over the crispy potato bites. The potatoes soak up the sauce but still keep their crunch — honestly the best combo ever.
Notes
- Customize it: Add spinach, basil, or mushrooms for extra veggies.
- Make it lighter: Swap half the heavy cream for milk or chicken broth (sauce will be thinner).
- Storage: Keeps well in the fridge for 3–4 days. Reheat gently so the sauce stays creamy.
- Spice level: A tiny pinch of chili flakes takes this to the next level without making it spicy.
