Marry Me Chicken Pasta

  • 4 oz Rotini pasta
  • 8 oz Chicken breast boneless skinless butterflied
  • 1/6 tsp Paprika
  • 1/3 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp Extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1/3 cup Heavy cream
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/3 cup Sun dried tomatoes in oil, drained
  • Fresh basil for garnish

Apple Juice

  • 24 oz Apple juice cold

Instructions

  • Make the Croutons: Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Drizzle the oil over the bread cubes. Season with salt and pepper. Toss until evenly coated. Spread in a single layer over a baking sheet and bake until golden brown and crisp (about 10 - 12 minutes). Then set aside.
  • Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, Dijon, Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar. Slowly drizzle in extra-virgin olive oil while whisking constantly. Whisk in parmesan. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • Make the Pasta: Cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain the pasta and set aside while you prepare the chicken and sauce.
  • Season the chicken with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper on both sides.
  • In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken on both sides and cook until the chicken is no longer pink and cooked through; to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).
  • Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate, and wait a few minutes before slicing thin against the grain.
  • Make the Sauce: Return to the same skillet, then add the butter. Once it is melted, sauté the garlic for 30 seconds until it's fragrant. Add in the flour and stir to make a paste.
  • Whisk in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and parmesan cheese.
  • Stir in the drained sun-dried tomatoes. Season with more salt and pepper if needed.
  • Simmer the sauce for a few minutes for it to thicken.
  • Portion the pasta and top with chicken. Spoon sauce over top. Garnish with basil.
  • Garnish with chopped basil leaves and additional parmesan cheese.
  • Toss the lettuce, croutons, and dressing together in a bowl.
  • Serve pasta with Caesar salad and apple juice.
