How to Make the Marry Me Chicken Pasta

Season the chicken

• Season the chicken breasts with onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, low-sodium Lawry’s seasoned salt, and salt-free Cavender’s seasoning.

Sear the chicken

• Heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
• Cook the chicken for approximately 5 minutes on each side, until browned.
• The chicken will finish cooking in the oven.

Prepare the Alfredo sauce

• Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
• In the same skillet, melt the butter.
• Add the diced onions and cook until softened. Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant.

Make the creamy sauce

• Add the sun-dried tomatoes and their juice, heavy cream, and cream cheese.
• Stir until the cream cheese melts into the sauce.
• Add the Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Cajun seasoning.
• Stir until the sauce is smooth and creamy.

Bake the chicken

• Return the chicken breasts to the skillet, nestling them into the Alfredo sauce.
• Transfer the oven-safe skillet to a preheated 375°F oven and bake for 10–15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
• Cooking time will depend on the thickness of the chicken.

Cook the pasta

• While the chicken bakes, cook the fettuccine according to the package directions.
• Before draining, reserve some pasta water.

Dice the chicken

• Remove the skillet from the oven and transfer the chicken breasts to a cutting board.
• Dice the chicken into bite-sized pieces.

Combine everything.

• Add the cooked fettuccine and diced chicken back to the skillet with the Alfredo sauce.
• Add 2 ladles of pasta water and toss everything together until the pasta is coated in the creamy sauce.

Serve

• Serve warm with additional Parmesan cheese if desired
