    **Ingredients for Marry Me Chicken:**

    * 3 medium-sized chicken breasts, each breast sliced into cutlets

    * 100g (3.5oz) of plain flour (in the bowl)

    * 10 cherry tomatoes, sliced in half

    * 150g (5.3oz) of sun-dried tomatoes, finely diced

    * 2tbsp of olive oil (you can use oil from sun-dried tomatoes)

    * 30g (1oz) of butter

    * 4 garlic cloves, finely diced

    * 200ml (0.21quarts) of veg stock

    * 300ml (0.31quarts) of heavy cream

    * 30g (1oz) of grated parmesan cheese (plus 10g more for garnish)

    * 1tsp tomato paste

    * 1tbsp oregano

    * fresh basil, a few leaves for garnish

    * salt & black pepper to taste

    * 1tsp of chilli flakes (optional)

    **How to prepare Marry Me Chicken:**

    **1.** Preheat the oven to 140C (284F) and place sliced cherry tomatoes on the tray, drizzle with olive oil, salt and pepper. Slow-roast for 45 minutes.

    **2.** Season sliced chicken breast with a little bit of salt and coat them in plain flour. Transfer them to a plate but do not stack as they will stick together.

    **3.** Preheat the frying pan and add olive oil and butter. Once butter melts, pan-fry chicken breasts on medium-high heat until both sides are golden brown (I had to do it in three batches). When ready transfer the chicken onto a plate. Keep covered with another plate and set aside.

    **4.** Saute the diced garlic for a minute and add veg stock, give it a stir to remove any bits stuck to a pan. Next, add heavy cream and parmesan cheese. Simmer for 2 minutes then mix in 1tsp of tomato puree, season with oregano and chilli.

    **5.** Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes and the chicken, simmer for a few minutes or until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.

    **6.** Garnish with semi-dried cherry tomatoes, fresh basil leaves and sprinkle with parmesan. Enjoy with pasta, rice or pearl barley.
