Ingredients
The Crispy Potatoes
- 1.75 lbs potatoes, cubed
- 1 tablespoon garlic granules
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
The Chicken & Aromatics
- 1.1 lbs chicken breast, diced
- 1–2 tablespoons chicken seasoning
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 4 teaspoons garlic purée
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 2 tablespoons sun-dried tomato paste
The Sauce & Toppings
- 1 1/4 cups chicken stock
- 1/2 cup light cream
- 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar/mozzarella)
- Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
Cook the Potatoes: Toss cubed potatoes with garlic granules, salt, and pepper. Air fry at 400°F for 18–20 mins or bake at 425°F for 20–25 mins until golden.
Cook the Chicken: Season diced chicken and brown in a skillet over medium heat.
Add Aromatics: Stir in onion until softened. Add garlic purée, tomato paste, and sun-dried tomato paste. Sauté for 2–3 mins to toast the pastes.
Make the Sauce: Pour in chicken stock and cream. Simmer for 3–5 mins until thickened.
Finish: Top the mixture with crispy potatoes and shredded cheese. Broil for a few minutes until the cheese is bubbling. Garnish with parsley.
Notes
Sun-Dried Secret: The sun-dried tomato paste provides the signature tart depth unique to ‘Marry Me’ style dishes.
Heat Management: Simmer the cream sauce gently; boiling too hard can cause the fats to separate from the liquid.
Potato Prep: Drying the potatoes thoroughly before seasoning is the only way to achieve a true crisp rather than a steam.
