They say this dish is so good, it could inspire a marriage proposal and honestly, I believe it. The first time I made Marry Me Chicken Pasta, I wasn’t aiming for anything dramatic. I just wanted something creamy, comforting, and packed with flavour. But one bite in, and I knew I’d stumbled onto something special.
It’s the perfect mix of chicken, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and a silky cream sauce that wraps around each piece of pasta like it means it. There’s a hint of heat, a touch of sweetness, and a whole lot of wow. Whether you’re cooking for someone else or just spoiling yourself, this is the kind of dish that says "you deserve something a little extra tonight."
1 Tbsp olive oil
400 g chicken breast, cut bite sized
1 white onion, dice
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp Italian seasoning
1 tsp Smoked paprika
1 tsp chilli flakes
150 g sundried tomatoes, chopped
300 g penne pasta (I used )
2 cups chicken stock
1 cup cream
Salt and pepper to taste
1 handful fresh baby spinach
1 handful fresh chopped basil
Fresh grated parmesan to serve
1. Heat olive oil in a pan. Brown the chicken and set aside.
2. Saute the onion and garlic until fragrant and soft.
3. Add the herbs, paprika and chili flakes, stir through and add back your chicken.
4. Add the sundried tomatoes.
5. Add the uncooked pasta and toast a little before adding the stock and cream.
6. Simmer on low until pasta is just cooked (Al dente)
7. Stir through the baby spinach and basil.
8. Serve immediately with fresh grated parmesan.
