Ingredients

– 1 pound chicken breast, sliced into thin pieces
– Salt and black pepper, to taste
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 1 cup chicken broth
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your Marry Me Chicken Pasta:

1. Cook Pasta: Begin by cooking the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare Chicken: Season chicken strips with salt and black pepper.
3. Sauté Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken pieces and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute, being careful not to burn it.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine with the garlic. Add Italian seasoning and simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
6. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, allowing it to melt and create a creamy sauce.
7. Combine Ingredients: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, mixing well to coat in the sauce. Add the cooked pasta and toss to combine evenly.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, pepper, or red pepper flakes, if desired.
9. Garnish: Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
