Method
1. Tip enough plain flour onto a dinner plate to cover it well. Season the chicken breasts on both sides and coat in the plain flour, shaking off any excess.
2. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a non-stick frying pan, and over a medium-high heat fry the chicken breasts for 5 mins on each side or until golden brown. Remove from the pan and set aside on a plate while you make the sauce.
3. Heat the remaining 1 tbsp oil and gently fry the onion and garlic over a medium heat for 5-7 mins, until softened. Add the cream, chicken stock, most of the sundried tomatoes (reserve a few to serve), chilli flakes and mixed herbs.
4. Stir to combine then add the chicken breasts back to the pan. Simmer gently for 10-12 mins or until the chicken is cooked through. You might need to turn your chicken breasts over if they’re big, to cook evenly.
5. Stir though the Parmesan and scatter over the remaining sundried tomatoes along with the fresh basil to serve.

Looks delicious! I've heard of these Marry Me recipes before. My husband loved the fact that a date I was making an apple pie in my parents' kitchen. He had never seen anyone bake before. His mother was a great cook but she didn't bake :) He proposed soon after, lol! All the best, Denise

Hello and many thanks for your comment and question.
Skin off is best for this recipe ... I will amend the recipe to say this.
Many thanks, and I wish you a good week ahead.

Well it does look good, Jan.

I love the name of the dish and it certainly looks and sounds most appetising.
It certainly looks tasty enough that a guy may want to ask someone to marry him, o even vice versa!
