Keto Marry Me Chicken 💍🥓 Creamy, Low-Carb, and 100% Flavor-First — With Zero Compromise

Keto Marry Me Chicken keeps the flavor of the viral classic intact while making it totally keto-friendly. No flour, no pasta — just juicy chicken simmered in a garlic cream sauce with sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, and herbs that coat every bite in luxurious richness.

Ingredients (Serves 4)

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken thighs or breasts
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, chopped and drained)
  • ¾ cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan
  • ½ tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp chili flakes (optional)
  • 2 cups baby spinach (optional)
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

Step 1: Sear the Chicken

Season chicken with salt and pepper. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

Step 2: Build the Sauce

In the same skillet, lower heat to medium. Add garlic and sauté 30 seconds. Stir in sun-dried tomatoes and Italian seasoning. Pour in broth and simmer 2–3 minutes to reduce slightly.

Step 3: Make It Creamy

Add heavy cream and Parmesan. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce is smooth. Add chili flakes if using. Let simmer until slightly thickened.

Step 4: Combine

Return chicken to the pan. Simmer gently 3–5 minutes, spooning sauce over chicken as it finishes. Stir in spinach at the end if using, just until wilted.

Step 5: Serve

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve hot over your favorite keto sides.

Keto-Friendly Serving Ideas

  • Cauliflower mash or cauliflower rice
  • Roasted broccoli or asparagus
  • Zucchini noodles or shirataki noodles
  • Sautéed spinach or cabbage
  • Grilled eggplant rounds or mushrooms

Flavor Variations

  • Add a splash of lemon juice or white wine vinegar for brightness
  • Use Gruyère or goat cheese for a twist on the creamy base
  • Stir in crumbled bacon or olives for bonus richness
  • Swap spinach for kale, arugula, or Swiss chard

Pro Tips

  • Use chicken thighs for more fat and flavor (keto-friendly and juicy)
  • Sauce will thicken naturally with the cheese — no flour or thickeners needed
  • Keep heat medium to avoid breaking the cream
  • Store leftovers in the fridge 3–4 days — great reheated gently with a splash of broth

Final Thoughts

Keto Marry Me Chicken proves you can go all-in on flavor while staying low-carb. It’s silky, savory, and totally satisfying — the kind of skillet dinner that doesn’t feel like a compromise. One bite and you’re fully committed.

Sear it. Simmer it. Love it low-carb. 💍🥓🔥
