Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 cup sun-dried tomatoes, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

8 ounces fettuccine or your favorite pasta

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Fresh basil leaves for garnish

1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions
 

Preparation: Start by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

    Cook Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

      Sauté Aromatics: In the same skillet, add the sun-dried tomatoes and minced garlic. Sauté for about 2 minutes until fragrant.

        Make Sauce: Pour in the chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Stir in the heavy cream, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes (if using). Let the sauce simmer for 3-4 minutes until it starts to thicken.

          Add Cheese: Gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and well combined.

            Cook Pasta: Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package instructions in a pot of salted boiling water. Drain the pasta and set aside.

              Combine Everything: Slice the cooked chicken and add it back to the skillet along with the drained pasta. Toss everything together until the pasta is well coated with the creamy sauce.

                Serve: Divide the Marry Me Chicken Pasta among plates. Garnish with fresh basil leaves and additional Parmesan cheese if desired.
