This recipe typically includes chicken breasts cooked in a creamy sauce made with butter, garlic, heavy cream, sundried tomatoes, and parmesan cheese. The name of the dish is believed to have originated from its reputation as a meal so delicious that it could convince someone to propose marriage after trying it.

Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breastsSalt and pepper, to taste2 tablespoons of olive oil1 tablespoon of unsalted butter5 cloves of garlic, minced1 cup of chicken broth1 cup of heavy cream1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes, chopped1 teaspoon of dried basil1/2 teaspoon of dried oreganoFresh parsley, chopped (optional) or to taste Get Portuguese ingredients

Directions

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil to a medium-high temperature. Add chicken and cook until golden brown, about 6-8 minutes per side. Take the chicken out of the skillet and set it aside.
Add butter to the skillet and turn the heat down to medium. Once melted, add garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add chicken broth, heavy cream, parmesan cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, and oregano to the skillet. Stir thoroughly to mix, then simmer.
Return chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon some of the sauce over the chicken. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 10-15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Serve hot with additional sauce spooned over the chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
