Marry Me Chicken Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken [00:00]

Slice 800 g of boneless and skinless chicken breast into thick strips lengthwise, then dice into small to medium-sized pieces.

Step 2: Season the Chicken [00:44]

In a bowl, add the diced chicken along with 1 tbsp of dried Italian herbs, a pinch of salt, and 20 cracks of black pepper. Mix until evenly coated and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Sauce [01:00]

In a blender, combine 400 g of cottage cheese, 180 ml of chicken stock, 1 tsp each of onion powder, garlic powder, and smoked paprika, 50 g of Parmesan cheese, and 100 g of drained sundried tomatoes. Blend until smooth.

Step 4: Boil the Pasta [01:36]

In a pot of boiling water, generously season with salt and add 500 g of pasta. Cook for 3 minutes less than the packet instructions.

Step 5: Cook the Chicken [01:52]

In a large pan over medium-high heat, add 1 tbsp of sundried tomato oil and the seasoned chicken. Cook for 5 to 6 minutes until just cooked through, ensuring a nice color on the chicken.

Step 6: Combine Pasta and Sauce [02:14]

Once the pasta is cooked and drained, add it to the pan with the chicken along with the creamy sauce. Turn the heat down to low and mix well, cooking for about 2 minutes.

Step 7: Add Spinach [02:39]

Add 200 g of washed baby spinach to the mixture and cook for roughly 1 minute until wilted. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 8: Serve [03:01]

Divide the mixture into 5 containers, garnishing with extra Parmesan cheese and cracked black pepper if desired. Let cool for 15-20 minutes before sealing. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for 3 months.
