How to Make Marry Me Chicken Pasta
  1. Prepare Ingredients: Start by chopping the garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. This will have your flavors ready to shine.
  2. Sear Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sear the chicken breasts for about 5 minutes per side until golden brown. Remove and set aside.
  3. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, sauté the minced garlic for about one minute until it's fragrant. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, then pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a gentle simmer.
  4. Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the chicken to the skillet along with the freshly grated Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Cook together for another five minutes until bubbly.
  5. Cook Pasta: Meanwhile, boil water in another pot. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain really well and set aside.
  6. Toss Pasta and Sauce: Toss the cooked pasta with the creamy sauce mixture until thoroughly combined. Serve garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

For the best results, always use fresh chicken and ensure the skillet is hot enough when searing. Sauté garlic just until fragrant to avoid bitterness and cook the pasta until just al dente as it will continue to cook when tossed with the sauce.
