Easy Marry Me Chicken Pasta
This is my first Marry Me Chicken blog recipe, and this one will be on repeat. Jace, Kevin and I not only ate our plates clean, but we have also ate leftovers of this. We all loved, loved, loved it! I’ve recently started using Chicken Breast Filets from Albertsons, and they’re so much better than regular chicken breasts. They’re thin, cook faster, and are just easier to work with.
This recipe was suggested by Kevin (we usually switch off coming up with recipe ideas) and I'm glad he suggested it. We love chicken and pasta, and this protein-packed meal was a hit with everyone!

Step-by-Step Instructions for Marry Me Chicken Pasta
1. Cut the chicken into thin slice filets.
Note: If you can’t find chicken breast filets, feel free to use regular chicken breasts—just slice them thin for faster cooking
2. Sear in olive oil in a pan on the stove on medium/high heat with pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side until cooked 90% of the way through.
3. While the chicken cooks, prepare the pasta according to package directions. Once the chicken is done, remove it from the pan, and in the same pan, make your sauce by adding the remaining ingredients: garlic powder, pasta water, onion powder, Italian seasoning, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese.
4. Add cooked pasta (that has been strained) and mozzarella cheese.
5. Add chicken back to pot and combine everything together. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.
