This Irresistibly Creamy Marry Me Chicken Sandwich is an easy and delicious lunch idea featuring tender chicken breasts cooked in a rich, velvety sun-dried tomato and Parmesan cream sauce, garnished with fresh basil and served on toasted ciabatta rolls for the perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Chicken and Sauce

  • 2 pieces chicken breasts (about 1 pound), tender and juicy
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (substitute with parsley if needed)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil, for cooking

Bread

  • 4 pieces ciabatta rolls, toasted

Instructions

  1. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side.
  2. Sauté Garlic: Once the chicken is cooked, add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Make Cream Sauce: Gently pour in the heavy cream along with the chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Bring the mixture to a simmer, letting it thicken for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  4. Add Herbs and Cheese: Stir in the chopped fresh basil, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the sauce turns luscious and creamy.
  5. Toast the Rolls: While the sauce simmers, slice and toast the ciabatta rolls until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Assemble the Sandwiches: Generously layer the creamy chicken mixture on the toasted ciabatta rolls and serve immediately for a warm, satisfying lunch.

Notes

  • You can substitute fresh parsley for basil if desired.
  • Ensure chicken breasts are pounded to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • Store leftover sandwiches separately from the sauce to prevent sogginess.
  • This recipe pairs well with a simple green salad or crispy fries.
