Creamy chicken tacos inspired by the viral Marry Me Chicken – yes these truly are as good as they sound!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1lb / 450g Chicken Breast, sliced into small cubes (approx 1/2″)
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp EACH: Salt, Black Pepper, Paprika, Dried Oregano
- 1/4 tsp EACH: Dried Thyme, Garlic Powder, Onion Powder
- 2 cloves of Garlic, finely diced
- 1/3 cup / 80ml Chicken Stock
- 1/2 cup / 120ml Heavy/Double Cream
- 1/3 cup / 30g freshly grated Parmesan
- 3.5oz / 100g Sun Dried Tomatoes, finely diced (pat dry to remove excess oil if needed)
- 1/2 tsp Chilli Flakes, or more to spice preference
- 8x 6″/15cm Soft Tortillas
- 1 cup / 100g shredded Mozzarella
- Oil Spray, as needed
Instructions
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the diced chicken with the oil and seasoning.
- Place a large pan over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken and fry until seared all over. Remove and place in a bowl to one side, leaving the excess fat/juices in the pan.
- Turn the heat down to medium, then fry the garlic for 30 seconds. Add the stock, cream, parmesan, sun dried tomatoes and chilli flakes. Stir until the parmesan melts. Continue simmering for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens. Stir through the chicken and simmer for another minute until the sauce clings to the chicken.
- Scrape the chicken into a bowl to one side and let it cool. Lay out all of the tortillas and spoon the chicken onto one side of each. Top with mozzarella, then fold over into a taco.
- Wipe out the pan and place it over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with oil. Place half of the tacos in and lightly spray the tops with oil. Fry both sides until deep golden and crispy with the cheese melted in the centre, then remove and repeat.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Serve with salsa or guacamole for added flavor.
- Adjust the amount of chilli flakes based on your spice preference.
