Ingredients
Scale
1 lb. boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cubed
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for garnish
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp. dried oregano
1 tsp. dried basil
1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes (optional, for a bit of heat)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
12 oz. penne or farfalle pasta
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the penne (or your pasta of choice) and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain the pasta and set it aside.
In a large skillet or saucepan, cook the cubed chicken over medium-high heat until browned and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and set it aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the cream cheese, heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, garlic, oregano, and basil. Whisk the ingredients together until the sauce is smooth and creamy. If you’d like a bit of heat, stir in the crushed red pepper flakes.
Add the cooked pasta and chicken to the creamy sauce and toss to combine. Simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened and the chicken is heated through. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
Serve the “Marry Me Chicken Pasta” hot, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese and chopped fresh parsley.
