Marry Me Chicken Pasta

Everything You'll Need

This Marry Me Chicken Pasta recipe is made with super simple ingredients and pantry staple spices. Here's everything you'll need:

  • Pasta: Choose any pasta you'd like! We like to use a noodle that will trap the sauce inside like penne, ziti or rigatoni.

  • Onion and garlic: Gives the dish major savory flavor.

  • Chicken breasts: This recipe uses 1 pound of chicken breasts, cut into bite-size pieces. This recipe also works with salmon!

  • Seasonings: A blend of Italian seasoning, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, salt and pepper provides this dish with so much wonderful bold flavor.

  • Heavy cream: Makes the sauce deliciously rich and creamy.

  • Parmesan cheese: Adds to the richness of the sauce and gives it sharp, cheesy flavor.

  • Sun-dried tomatoes: This is a signature ingredient in 'Marry Me' recipes that offers tangy, delightful flavor. You can use the chopped or paste.

  • You will also need oil, butter, and basil leaves for extra color and a gorgeous presentation.
