Make restaurant-quality creamy Marry Me Chicken Pasta in one pot in under 30 minutes. This recipe features tender chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, and a rich Parmesan cream sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 4 cups chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 8 oz dry pasta (penne or rotini work well)
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for serving
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken pieces lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  3. Add the chopped onion to the same pot and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sun-dried tomatoes and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the chicken broth and bring the mixture to a boil. Add the dry pasta, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir well.
  5. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot, and simmer for 10-12 minutes, or until the pasta is nearly tender, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and the cooked chicken. Let the sauce simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it thickens slightly.
  7. Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy.
  8. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with fresh basil and serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese.

Notes

  • For a thicker sauce, simmer uncovered for an extra 2 minutes before adding the cream.
  • If you do not have chicken broth, you can use water mixed with 1 bouillon cube.
  • Use jarred oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes for the best flavor.
