by

Here’s a delicious and creamy Marry Me Chicken Pasta recipe that’s sure to impress! The rich, flavorful sauce is loaded with sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and parmesan. Perfect for a romantic dinner or a cozy family meal.

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
  • Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)
  • 12 oz pasta (fettuccine, penne, or your favorite type)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the chicken:
  • Season the chicken breasts with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
  1. Cook the pasta:
  • While the chicken is cooking, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
  1. Make the sauce:
  • In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, chicken broth, grated parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  1. Combine everything:
  • Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the chicken. Let it simmer for another 4-5 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the chicken to soak up the sauce.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, gently tossing to coat it in the sauce.
  1. Serve:
  • Garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and sprinkle extra parmesan if desired. Serve the chicken on top of the pasta, with the sauce covering everything.

Tip:

Serve this with a side of garlic bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.

Enjoy your Marry Me Chicken Pasta—creamy, rich, and perfect for any occasion!
