Alright, listen up—if you’re trying to impress your date, situationship, or just flex your culinary skills on TikTok, this Marry Me Pheasant recipe is the one. It’s like the iconic “Marry Me Chicken,” but upgraded for the kind of person who shops at the farmers’ market and casually drops “I actually prefer wild meat” into conversation. Think rich, creamy, and just delicious enough to make you feel like you’re dining in a candlelit London flat with a glass of organic wine.

Why You’ll Love It

  • Succulent, golden pheasant (because you’re too cool for basic chicken)
  • A creamy, parmesan-loaded sauce with sun-dried tomato vibes
  • A little spice, a lot of umami, and major “you actually cooked this?” energy
  • Perfect for date night, mate night, or just treating yourself

Ingredients

Serving 2
  Ingredients
2 Pheasant breasts, diced
A good pinch of both Salt, black pepper
A good pinch Paprika
3 tbsp Oil from your sundried tomatoes
1 Onion, finely chopped
2 Garlic, minced
1 tsp Chilli flakes (optional)
120ml Dry white wine
120ml Double cream
50g Parmesan, grated
3/4 jar Sundried tomatoes, roughly chopped
Small bunch Fresh basil, roughly chopped

1. Sear like a pro -

Pat the pheasant dry, season it up, then fry in 2 tablespoons of oil drained from your sundried tomatoes until golden (3–4 mins per side). Remove and set aside.

2. Sauce magic –

Melt butter in the same pan, add onions, garlic and chilli flakes, then sauté for about a minute. Pour in stock (or wine, no judgement) to deglaze.

3. Creamy perfection –

Stir in double cream, parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, and freshly chopped basil. Let it all meld together.

4. Finishing touches –

Put the pheasant back in, coat it in the sauce, and let it simmer for 5–7 mins until cooked through.

5. Serve it up –

Over pasta, mashed potatoes, or with a crusty baguette to mop up the sauce. Sprinkle with fresh basil and an unnecessary but satisfying extra grating of parmesan.
