Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the penne pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain the pasta and set it aside. Meanwhile, season the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and paprika to enhance their flavor.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, then add the seasoned chicken breasts. Cook them for 6-7 minutes per side, or until they develop a golden-brown crust and are cooked through. Once done, remove the chicken from the skillet and set it aside.
Using the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring well to combine. Gradually whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts smoothly into the sauce.
Next, stir in the dried thyme, dried oregano, and chopped sun-dried tomatoes, allowing the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly. Return the cooked chicken breasts to the skillet, letting them soak up the flavors of the creamy sauce for about 5 minutes. Then, add the cooked penne pasta, gently tossing everything together until the pasta is well coated in the rich sauce.
Finally, sprinkle freshly chopped basil on top for a burst of freshness. Serve the Marry Me Chicken Pasta hot and enjoy its creamy, savory flavors!
