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 have started purchasing Chicken Breast Filets from Albertsons and I love them so much more than regular chicken breasts. I think it's because they are thin so they cook faster and easier. This recipe was suggested by Kevin (we usually switch off coming up with recipe ideas) and I'm glad he suggested it. We all love chicken and pasta and this was the perfect protein-packed meal for us.

Ingredients
Macaroni shells, made according to package directions
Chicken breast filets (4-5)
2 tbsp garlic powder (one tbsp for chicken, one for sauce)
2 tbsp onion powder (one tbsp for chicken, one for sauce)
1/4 cup pasta water
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup parmesan cheese (we did a 3 cheese blend)
1/3 cup mozzarella cheese
1 tbsp Italian seasoning

Directions:
Cut the chicken into thin slice filets. 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. While chicken is cooking, cook pasta according to package directions.

Remove chicken from the pan. 

In the same pan, add remaining garlic powder, pasta water, remaining onion powder, Italian seasoning, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese. 

Add cooked pasta (that has been strained) and mozzarella cheese.

Add chicken back to pot and combine everything together. Cook on medium heat for 10 minutes. 

Enjoy!!!
