Creamy chicken tacos inspired by the viral Marry Me Chicken – yes these truly are as good as they sound!<\/strong><\/p>\n As the self-appointed king of creamy chicken dishes, I thought it would be rude not to give the famous marry me chicken recipe a go. I wanted to put my twist on it, and ended up with these tacos, which I haven’t actually seen been done before. Spoiler alert – they’re incredible! Follow me…<\/p>\n Marry me chicken is very similar to Tuscan chicken. It’s essentially chicken breast<\/strong> in a rich, creamy parmesan sauce<\/strong> with sun dried tomatoes<\/strong>, often with herbs and garlic <\/strong>too. We are going to be keeping in line with these key components, just with a few tweaks to make it taco-style:<\/strong><\/p>\n Process shots: coat diced chicken in oil and seasoning (photo 1), add to pan (photo 2), fry then remove (photo 3), fry garlic then add stock, cream, parmesan, chilli flakes and sun dried tomatoes (photo 4), simmer (photo 5), stir through chicken (photo 6).<\/em><\/p>\n After you’ve made the filling, it’s important to let it cool<\/strong>. At least until it stops steaming. If you don’t allow it to cool and add it straight to the tacos, you risk it steaming the tortillas, which prevents them from crisping up.<\/p>\n My cheese of choice is mozzarella<\/strong>. It’s perfect for a gooey filling, and it’s creamy enough to pair with the filling and let it shine. The filling is already pretty rich, so I don’t like adding any other cheese too intense (remember there’s parmesan in the sauce too).<\/p>\n To cook the tacos, we’ll be pan-frying<\/strong> them. Chicken breast is lean, so you don’t want to cook it any longer than it needs to be (especially because it’s diced so small). Hence why we’re not baking or air-frying them.<\/p>\n Process shots: add filling to tortillas (photo 1), add cheese (photo 2), fold over and add to pan (photo 3), fry both sides (photo 4).<\/em><\/p>\n They won’t take long to cook – you’re only looking to toast the outside and melt the cheese.<\/p>\n From there, let them cool for a minute or so before tucking in (the filling will be pretty hot). These are awesome as they are, but you could add some Wedges<\/a>, Chips<\/a> or even a Side Salad.<\/p>\n Alrighty, let’s tuck into the full recipe for these marry me chicken tacos shall we?!<\/strong><\/p>\n
