Ever since I published my viral Tuscan-style creamy Marry Me Chicken recipe, I knew these flavours would work perfectly as a one pot pasta too. The combination of chicken, cream, sun dried tomatoes and parmesan are dreamy – sort of tastes like a bit of a special dish but still totally quick and easy enough to make midweek!
Why you’ll love this Marry ME Chicken Pasta recipe
⭐️ A marriage of easy ingredients and amazing flavours ⭐️ Takes about 30 minutes, all in one pan ⭐️ Creamy, cheesy and comforting After playing around with this recipe already to create my Marry Me Chicken Orzo, I also wanted another easy recipe that was made with regular pasta, as the quantities and methods are different. Let me know if you and your family enjoy this one – I have high hopes! ❤️
Marry Me Chicken Pasta Ingredients Notes
Chicken – We’re using 650g of skinless and boneless breasts for this recipe, which is about 4 breasts, cut into bite-sized chunks Pasta – I used ‘spirali’ in these photos, but any sturdy pasta shape that isn’t too fine will work. (If it’s too thin or narrow it will become mushy as you stir.) Oil – Use olive oil, or use the oil from the sun dried tomatoes jar Garlic – I use peeled and crushed fresh garlic here, but feel free to use pre-prepared from a jar or pack Sun dried tomatoes – The type in an oil-filled jar, not the very dry ones Herbs – Dried oregano and paprika from the spice rack Chicken stock – Made from a cube is fine Cream – Double cream for flavour and texture Parmesan – Grated yourself or pre-grated is fine. Grana Padano is a good, slightly cheaper alternative to Parmesan if you prefer Spinach – Use baby spinach here as it’s more tender and melts into the sauce
If you don’t serve this as soon as it’s cooked, you’ll find that the sauce absorbs into the pasta and there’s not a lot left. It won’t affect the taste, you may just want to add a splash more stock when you warm it through. Can you freeze this pasta dish? I’m not a big fan of freezing pasta as it can go quite mushy when defrosted and reheated. All that said, there’s nothing wrong with freezing for lunch if you have leftovers, it’s just not quite as good as fresh or reheated from the fridge.
