Method
- In a large pot set over medium-high heat, combine the oil from the sun-dried tomato jar with the chicken and 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning. As the chicken cooks, keep an eye on it to ensure it turns golden brown and is cooked through, which should take about 5 minutes. Once done, scoop the chicken out and set it aside.
- Next, add the butter and chopped garlic to the pot. Allow it to cook for about 2 minutes or until your kitchen fills with that amazing aroma. Then, stir in the pasta along with 2 cups of water. Keep an eye on it as it cooks, stirring occasionally until the pasta is al dente, which will take about 8 minutes.
- Once the pasta is cooked, it’s time to add the creamy goodness. Stir in the whole milk, cream cheese, and parmesan cheese. Mix it all together until you achieve a creamy consistency. You want to make sure every piece of pasta is well-coated in that luscious sauce.
- Now, it’s time to bring everything back together. Gently slide the cooked chicken back into the pot, along with the chopped spinach and sun-dried tomatoes. Mix everything together carefully so that the spinach wilts but retains its vibrant color. Remove the pot from heat and stir in the fresh basil.
- Serve your One Pot Marry Me Chicken Pasta immediately, garnished with extra parmesan and a sprinkle of fresh basil. Trust me, everyone will be fighting for the last bite!
