A rich and creamy pasta dish combining the viral ‘Marry Me Chicken’ sauce with pasta for an indulgent, restaurant-worthy meal that’s surprisingly easy to make.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained and chopped
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 12 ounces pasta (fettuccine or penne work well)
  • Fresh basil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Slice chicken breasts horizontally into thinner cutlets. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove chicken from skillet and set aside.
  3. Add chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the same skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
  4. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly.
  6. While the sauce simmers, cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of pasta water.
  7. Slice the cooked chicken into bite-sized pieces or shred it.
  8. Add the cooked pasta to the sauce in the skillet. Toss to coat. If the sauce is too thick, add a splash of the reserved pasta water until desired consistency is reached.
  9. Stir in the cooked chicken.
  10. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh basil if desired.

Notes

  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce.
  • You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a richer flavor.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth or cream to loosen the sauce.
