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
