Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
8 oz fettuccine or penne pasta
1 cup heavy cream
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tbsp butter

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Season each chicken breast with salt, pepper, and dried herbs on both sides and place them in the baking dish.
In a pan over medium heat, melt butter and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute).
Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth; bring to a gentle simmer. Add Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth.
Pour the sauce over the seasoned chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated, then cover the dish tightly with aluminum foil.
Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
Serve pasta topped with Marry Me Chicken and drizzle any remaining sauce over it.
