Here’s a delicious and creamy recipe for Marry Me Chicken Pasta—a dish so flavorful, it might just inspire a proposal!
Ingredients:
- 2-3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional for spice)
- 8 oz pasta (fettuccine, penne, or spaghetti)
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Instructions:
- Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- Cook the pasta: While preparing the chicken, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- Make the sauce: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
- Add the heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, and red pepper flakes (if using) to the skillet. Stir and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce cook for about 3-4 minutes, until slightly thickened.
- Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
- Combine everything: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing it in the sauce. Slice the cooked chicken breasts and place them on top of the pasta.
- Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley for a fresh touch.
