Recreate the viral, romantic Marry Me Chicken Pasta with this recipe. We focus on achieving that perfectly rich and creamy sauce that brings back wonderful memories.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken breasts, cut into bite-sized pieces
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup sun-dried tomatoes, drained and chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach
  • 8 ounces pasta (fettuccine or penne work well)

Instructions

  1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
  2. Season chicken pieces with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook until browned and cooked through. Remove chicken and set aside.
  4. Reduce heat to medium. Add minced garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Pour in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  6. Stir in heavy cream and chopped sun-dried tomatoes. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  7. Reduce heat to low. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and creamy. Do not boil after adding cheese.
  8. Add the cooked chicken and fresh spinach to the sauce. Stir until the spinach wilts.
  9. Add the cooked pasta to the skillet. Toss everything together until the pasta is fully coated in the sauce.
  10. Serve immediately. You made this!

Notes

  • Richard remembers a hint of dried oregano in the Parisian soup; feel free to add a pinch if you like.
  • We used fettuccine, but any pasta shape you love works perfectly here.
  • Taste the sauce before adding the pasta and adjust salt or pepper as needed.
