Marry Me Chicken Pasta

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:

1. Season the chicken: Sprinkle the chicken breasts with garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
2. Cook the pasta: While preparing the chicken, cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
7. 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.
8. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle with fresh basil or parsley for a fresh touch.
