Marry Me Chicken Bites
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Cube the chicken breasts into large bite-sized pieces, pat them dry, and toss with olive oil, sun-dried tomato oil, and seasonings (paprika, garlic powder, seasoning salt, Italian seasoning, black pepper).
- 2Heat neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken cubes and cook for about 3-5 minutes per side until golden and sizzling.
- 3Reduce heat to medium-low, toss in butter and minced garlic, and gently sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant. Then remove the chicken from the pan.
- 4Still using the same pan, deglaze with white cooking wine (optional), scraping up the goodness stuck to the bottom.
- 5Add the minced shallot, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, and 1 more tablespoon of the sun-dried tomato oil, then caramelize for 3-4 minutes, stirring often.
- 6Slowly pour in the heavy cream. Stir and bring to a light simmer. Add the fresh parmesan and reduce heat to low, letting it thicken for 4-5 minutes.
- 7Boil 3 pounds of russet potatoes or Yukon gold potatoes in water.
- 8Melt 1/4 cup of salted butter and add 5 garlic cloves and 3/4 cup of milk or cream.
- 9Add the boiled potatoes to the melted butter and cream mixture, then mash them. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 10Lay down a generous bed of warm mashed potatoes. Place your chicken bites on top and ladle the marry me sauce right over them. Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley if desired.
