Ingredients
  

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Salt and pepper, to taste

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 cup heavy cream

1 cup chicken broth

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

8 ounces fettuccine or pasta of choice

Fresh basil leaves, for garnish

Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the fettuccine according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

    Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.

      Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for a few minutes before slicing.

        Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

          Combine Ingredients: Add the cherry tomatoes and Italian seasoning to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes until the tomatoes start to soften.

            Create the Cream Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and let it cook for about 5 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.

              Add Parmesan: Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with additional salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired.

                Combine Pasta: Add the cooked pasta to the skillet, tossing to coat the noodles in the creamy sauce.

                  Finish with Chicken: Slice the rested chicken and place it on top of the pasta.

                    Serve: Garnish with fresh basil leaves and enjoy your delicious 'Marry Me Chicken Pasta'!
