  • Total Time30 minutes
  • Yield8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 10 oz dried pasta
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 3/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 cup parmesan, grated
  • 1/3 cup sun-dried tomatoes, julienne or diced
  • Fresh basil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Meanwhile, cut chicken into 1-inch cubes. Season with salt and pepper. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil and then the chicken. Cook the chicken until no longer pink and a thermometer inserted into the center reads 165°F. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  3. In the same skillet you used to cook the chicken, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. When it melts, add the garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes.
  4. Add the flour and whisk about 1 minute or until no visible flour remains. Then slowly whisk in the chicken broth, adding a small amount at a time. Once completely incorporated, whisk in the cream and Italian seasoning.
  5. Bring to a simmer then reduce heat to medium-low whisking often for 5-7 minutes until thickened slightly. Stir in the parmesan. Once melted, add the sun-dried tomatoes. Then stir in the cooked pasta and chicken. Salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Garnish with basil and Enjoy!

Notes

  • Have all the ingredients measured and ready when starting the sauce. Some steps are only a minute or two, so this will help to keep things moving.
  • The heavy cream is essential to a thick, creamy sauce. Milk is not a good substitute.
  • I used farfalle (bow tie pasta) when I make this Marry Me Pasta, but other great options are penne, ziti, or rigatoni. A thicker noodle is best, though, to stand up to the thick sauce.
  • Boneless skinless chicken thighs can also be used instead of the chicken breasts.
  • If you like, you can sauté some diced onion and add that to your pasta.
  • This is an easy recipe to change up – faeel free to throw in some vegetables, such as a cup of spinach, peas, corn, broccoli, or carrots for a complete meal.
  • The basil can be replaced with parsley.
  • Add some heat with a little cayenne or red pepper flakes.
  • Give the dish a little smokiness with some smoked paprika.
  • To make this dish even easier, you can use leftover chicken, frozen cooked chicken or a rotisserie chicken.
  • You can use oil from the sun-dried tomatoes or vegetable oil instead of the olive oil.
  • Feel free to stir some basil into the sauce as well as adding it as a garnish.
  • To increase the tomato flavor, add 1 tablespoon of tomato paste.
