Marry Me Chicken Pasta

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

2 tbsp olive oil

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth (or water)

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp dried thyme

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated

Salt and pepper to taste

10 oz pasta (like penne or fettuccine)

Fresh basil or parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Cook pasta according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown, about 5-7 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add sun-dried tomatoes, oregano, thyme, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir in chicken broth (or water) and heavy cream, bringing it to a simmer.

Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Toss cooked pasta with the sauce and chicken.

Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and serve immediately.

Notes:

Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes for desired spiciness. For a richer flavor, you can also add a splash of white wine (optional).
