Making Marry Me Chicken Pasta is simple and attainable. Follow these steps for a successful dish:
1. Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
2. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Sear the Chicken: In a skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 6-7 minutes on each side, or until fully cooked and golden brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic and Tomatoes: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir in the Italian seasoning and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and let it cook for 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
6. Add Cheese: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
7. Combine: Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet with the sauce. Add the cooked fettuccine and toss to combine everything evenly, ensuring the pasta is coated with the creamy sauce.
