Quick tip for the best recipe before starting
For a beginning cook this is not the best recipe. You must understand how and when to adjust your heat in the pan. In the instructions below, you’ll go from searing the chicken at a high heat to making a cream sauce in the same pan. The milk can curdle if you add it to an extremely hot pan, so be careful.
Making the marry me chicken thighs on the stove top
- First, prep all the ingredients needed before starting. Then, pat the chicken thighs dry then lightly season with salt and black pepper.
- In a frying pan or saucepan on medium-high heat with a little oil cook the chicken thighs. Cook them until they are golden brown on both sides. It’s very unlikely they will cook all the way through depending on the size. But cook them until they are a good color then remove them from the pan.
- Now, lower the heat to medium. You may need to take the pan from the eye for a minute for it to cool faster. Add in the garlic and cook until golden then toss in the butter.
- Now, add in the flour and make a quick roux. Once the flour is mixed in and bubbly pour in the milk. On top of that add in the seasonings and sun-dried tomatoes.
- Bring the milk to a light simmer then add in the parmesan cheese. Once mixed in, place the chicken thighs back in the sauce and allow them to finish cooking on a low simmer or sit in the sauce for 3-5 minutes.
- Once chicken is done, top with fresh basil and serve.
