"Marry Me Chicken Pasta" is a delicious dish known for its creamy, flavorful sauce. Here's a recipe you can try:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for some heat)
- 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 12 ounces cooked pasta (such as penne or fettuccine)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 6-7 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Let the broth simmer for a few minutes to reduce slightly.
- Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and baby spinach to the skillet. Cook until the spinach wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Once the sauce has thickened slightly and the spinach has wilted, return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet. Spoon some sauce over the chicken.
- Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat it evenly with the sauce.
- Allow everything to simmer together for another couple of minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve the Marry Me Chicken Pasta hot, and enjoy this delicious and creamy dish with your loved ones!
