Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
For the Pasta
  • 8 ounces pasta (your choice)
For Garnish
  • Fresh basil For garnish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Cooking the Chicken
  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook thoroughly—about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
Making the Sauce
  1. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about a minute until fragrant.
  2. Toss in the cherry tomatoes and sun-dried tomatoes. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.
  3. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and combined.
Cooking the Pasta
  1. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions in a separate pot and drain.
Combining Everything
  1. Slice the cooked chicken, add it back into the creamy tomato mixture, and then mix in the pasta until the whole dish is coated with that luscious sauce.
Serving
  1. Plate up your Marry Me Chicken Pasta and garnish with fresh basil.

Notes

This dish can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, warm it in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of cream to keep the sauce from drying out. Freezes beautifully for up to 3 months.
