Instructions
Creating Marry Me Chicken Pasta is an enjoyable process. Just follow these simple steps:
1. Cook the Pasta: Boil a large pot of salted water. Add the fettuccine and cook according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Season the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let it rest.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5. Add Tomatoes and Cream: Stir in the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, heavy cream, chicken broth, grated Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken for about 3-5 minutes.
6. Slice the Chicken: While the sauce thickens, slice the cooked chicken into strips.
7. Combine: Add the drained fettuccine to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Then, add the chicken pieces on top.
8. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with fresh basil leaves, and serve immediately.
