Marry Me Chicken

INGREDIENTS

• 1.5 pounds boneless, skinless chicken thighs, or
• 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally to make them thinner
• BFF seasoning (our Kosher salt, coarse ground black pepper & granulated garlic combo)
• About 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 4 ounces diced pancetta or thick cut bacon
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 1 small onion, sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1.5 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 cup chicken stock
• 1 cup heavy whipping cream
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
• 3 ounces sun-dried tomatoes in oil, sliced
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh basil

DIRECTIONS

1. Season both sides of chicken with the BFF, dredge both sides in flour shaking off excess, then put on a plate and set aside
2. Heat a large pan over medium high heat add the pancetta - cook until just getting crispy, remove and set aside – there shouldn’t be much grease, but if there is you can leave about a tablespoon of it
3. Add the butter and olive oil,and when melted put in the chicken and cook until golden brown on each side, 3-4 minutes, then flip and repeat - remove and set aside
4. Reduce the heat to low, add the onions and cook until translucent, approx 3 minutes, then add the garlic stirring until fragrant
5. Put in the tomato paste and Dijon, stirring into the onions about 2 minutes
6. Add the chicken stock, cream, oregano, thyme, red pepper flakes, parmesan, sun dried tomatoes and pancetta
7. Cook over a low simmer, stirring often until it begins to thicken, 3 - 4 minutes
8. Stir n the basil, then put the chicken back into the pan, and when heat through, probably another 3-4 minutes, you’re good to go…and get married
