  • Author: Olivia Turner
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 8 ounces pasta (penne or fettuccine work well)
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
– ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh basil and parsley for garnish


Instructions

Follow these detailed steps to create your own Marry Me Chicken Pasta:

1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, boil salted water. Add the pasta and cook according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

3. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.

5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

6. Add Cheese: Stir in the Parmesan cheese and red pepper flakes. Continue to cook until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3-4 minutes.

7. Combine Pasta and Chicken: Add the cooked pasta and seared chicken back into the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is coated with the creamy sauce.

8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat. Garnish with fresh basil and parsley, and serve immediately.
