"Marry Me" Chicken Pasta 🍝
Ingredients:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes (in oil, drained and chopped)
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
8 oz pasta (penne, fettuccine, or your choice)
Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish
Directions:
Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Season chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds.
Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer, scraping up any bits from the pan.
Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir and simmer for 3–4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly.
Slice cooked chicken and return it to the skillet. Let it warm in the sauce for 2–3 minutes.
Add cooked pasta and gently toss to coat everything in the sauce.
Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and serve hot!
