Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sauté the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides (about 6-7 minutes per side). Remove from the pan and set aside.
- Cook the Pasta: While the chicken cooks, bring water to a boil in a separate pot. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
- Make the Creamy Sauce: In the same skillet used for the chicken, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth while scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Add Herbs and Cheese: Stir in dried Italian herbs and Parmesan cheese into the sauce. Let it simmer gently until slightly thickened.
- Combine Everything: Add cooked pasta and sliced chicken back into the skillet with sauce. Toss to coat evenly with sauce, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve: Plate your delicious Marry Me Chicken Pasta and enjoy!
