Print Recipe

Marry Me Chicken Pasta is a romantic and creamy dish featuring tender chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and pasta, perfect for a special dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 8 ounces pasta of your choice (fettuccine or penne work well)
  • Fresh basil for garnish
  • Red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in the sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, and chicken broth. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Meanwhile, cook your pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  7. Return the chicken to the skillet, adding the cooked pasta. Toss everything together to coat the pasta and chicken in the creamy sauce.
  8. Garnish with fresh basil and a sprinkle of red pepper flakes if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

  • This dish pairs well with a side salad or garlic bread.
  • Feel free to adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your spice preference.
  • For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half instead of heavy cream.
