30-Minute low-FODMAP & gluten-free ‘Marry Me Chicken’ will make everyone swoon. Tender chicken infused with creamy sun-dried tomato sauce is always a winner.
1/2 cup (40g) chopped sun-dried tomatoes, drained well of oil*
1/2 cup heavy cream, or canned coconut cream*
1/4 cup finely grated fresh Parmesan*
Fresh basil, for serving
Instructions
Preheat oven to 375F
In a large ovenproof skillet (I like cast iron), over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil
Season chicken with salt, and black pepper, and place in skillet to sear on both sides (about 3-5 minutes per side). They don’t need to be fully cooked
Transfer chicken to a plate to stay warm
In same skillet over medium, heat garlic-infused oil
Stir in thyme (or Italian seasoning), and red pepper flakes (if using)
Cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 1 minute
Add in the low-FODMAP chicken broth, sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and Parmesan
Bring to a simmer, then return chicken and any accumulated juices to skillet, and cover with the sauce
Place the skillet in the oven until chicken is cooked through (160F internal temperature), about 10-12 minutes. Taste sauce, and adjust seasoning to your preference
Serve, garnished with fresh Basil. Goes great with rice, low-FODMAP pasta, bread, or potatoes. Drizzle some of that extra sauce over it all!
Notes
Although this recipe has not been lab tested, a single serving should be low-FODMAP based on the ingredients (using available FODMAP data at time of posting)
Note: The sauce is very rich, and can be irritating if you are sensitive to high-fat foods. I suggest opting for lactose-free half-and-half instead of cream, or reducing the cheese in the recipe
The red pepper flakes make the sauce spicy. Omit based on your preference
Parmesan cheese is naturally low in lactose and low-FODMAP. Do not use products that are pre-shredded, they will not melt as well in the sauce
Sun-dried tomatoes are low-FODMAP in 8g servings (maximum 20g per FODMAP friendly). If you select products packed in oil, use a brand without onion or garlic in the marinade. You can also use sun-dried tomatoes that are not oil-packed if you prefer
