So good it's said to win hearts with just one mouthful. Marry Me Chicken Pasta is one of those meals that, despite being pretty quick and easy to make, you know is made with love. Golden seasoned chunks of chicken, pan fried with garlicky butter and sun-dried tomatoes, finished with a creamy-parmesan sauce and served over pasta.
'Marry Me Chicken' is said to have been developed by a recipe creator working for Delish. The producer's response upon taste-testing was 'I'd marry you for that chicken!'
I've tweaked a few bits of that original recipe and I like to toss it together with fresh pasta too.
As usual, it went through several rounds of testing. My first version wasn't as popular at home, with my kids describing it as 'I'm-not-looking-for-anything-serious-right-now Pasta'! 😆 But with a bit of finessing, I managed to get this recipe perfect!
That creamy, parmesan sauce coats the chicken and pasta perfectly with little bursts of sweetness from the sun-dried tomatoes, that fills the soul. This is truly a marriage-worthy dish!
Pasta - I use fresh Tagliatelle but you can use dried instead, see the notes section if you are using dried.
Chicken - We're using chicken breast chunks in this recipe, and coating them in seasoned cornflour (cornstarch in USA) for flavour and colour.
Oil - Use a neutral oil, like avocado, sunflower, or vegetable oil.
Sun-dried Tomatoes - I use store bought sun-dried tomatoes with garlic and oregano from the deli section, but you can use your favourite type.
Seasonings - We're using salt, pepper, paprika, oregano, and chilli flakes.
