Miller Poultry Marry Me Chicken

This one-pot dish is romantic enough for a potential marriage proposal and approachable enough for a cozy weeknight. Miller Poultry chicken breasts are seared until golden, then gently simmered in a creamy sauce infused with aromatics, wine, Parmesan, cream and robust sun-dried tomatoes. Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta or crusty bread for a comforting yet impressive dish to share with those you love most.

Ingredients

4 Miller Poultry chicken breasts (about 2 pounds) Salt, to taste Ground black pepper, to taste ½ teaspoon smoked paprika ½ teaspoon dried oregano 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided ½ cup sun-dried julienne tomatoes in oil 1 large shallot, minced 4 garlic cloves, minced ½ cup white wine ½ cup chicken broth 1 cup heavy cream ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 3 cups baby spinach Thinly sliced basil leaves, for garnish

Instructions

Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally. Season both sides of each piece with the salt, pepper, smoked paprika and oregano. Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the oil from the jar of sun-dried tomatoes. Once the oil is shimmering, sear half of the chicken until golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer seared chicken to a plate. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of sun-dried tomato oil and sear the remaining chicken. Add the shallot, garlic and sun-dried tomatoes to the hot pan. Sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Deglaze the pan with the white wine, scraping up the browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the wine reduces by half, about 3 minutes. Add the broth, heavy cream and Parmesan. Stir well and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low and nestle the chicken breasts into the sauce. Cover and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through to 165°. Add the spinach to the sauce, simmering until the spinach has wilted. Remove the skillet from the heat, garnish with fresh basil, and serve.

COOKING TIPS

  • When purchasing any chicken, be sure to pick it up at the end of your shopping experience.
  • Use a plastic bag, often found just a few feet away, to pickup and transport the chicken. This will protect other items in your cart.
  • Try to head straight home to keep the chicken cold and place in your refrigerator right away.
  • Look for product that is still within the use by date
  • When purchasing larger quantities, what you do not use within two days, portion and freeze quickly for a later date.
  • Always store chicken below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Above 40F, bacteria begin to grow and will spoil the chicken.
  • Use any chicken within two days of purchase.
  • When preparing
    • Use a paper towel to pat dry any chicken. Do not wash in the sink as it will spread bacteria to your sink.
    • Use dedicated meat and poultry cutting surfaces and utensils to avoid cross contamination
    • Wash all surfaces after handling raw chicken but before handling cooked to avoid contamination
  • Cook to an internal temperature of 165 degrees fahrenheit for boneless items and 180 degrees Fahrenheit for bone-in items.
