Recipe: Marry Me Chicken Pasta
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup heavy cream
½ cup chicken broth
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon chili flakes
1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (drained and chopped)
8 oz pasta (penne or fettuccine works beautifully)
Fresh basil for garnish
Instructions:
Season the Chicken: Sprinkle chicken breasts with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat olive oil in your eloise cooking pot over medium heat.
Sear to Perfection: Sear the chicken until golden brown on both sides (about 5-7 minutes per side). Remove and set aside.
Build the Sauce: In the same pot, lower the heat and pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Stir in Parmesan cheese, chili flakes, and sun-dried tomatoes. Let it simmer until it thickens slightly.
Cook the Pasta: Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions. Drain and reserve some pasta water.
Bring It Together: Return the chicken to the pot. Simmer in the sauce for another 5-7 minutes until fully cooked. Add pasta and a splash of pasta water if needed to loosen the sauce.
Serve with Love: Garnish with fresh basil, maybe a little more Parmesan, and serve right out of your eloise cooking pot for that cozy, rustic feel.
Personal tip: Don’t rush the simmer. Let the sauce hug the chicken—it’s where all the magic (and flavor) happens.
Tips for the Best Results
Patience is key: Give the chicken a good sear. It locks in the juices and adds that irresistible golden crust.
Sauce magic: If the sauce gets too thick, a little pasta water works wonders.
Sun-dried secrets: Chop the sun-dried tomatoes finely—they burst with flavor in every bite!
And remember, if your kitchen looks a little messy afterward, that just means you cooked with heart.

Can I make it ahead of time?
Yes! You can prep the sauce and sear the chicken earlier in the day. Just warm everything together before serving.
What pasta works best?
Penne, fettuccine, or even spaghetti—whatever you have on hand.
Is eloise cooking pot necessary?
Not strictly, but trust me: a heavy-bottomed pot like the eloise cooking pot makes all the difference for even cooking and flavor!
