Marry Me Chicken Pasta

My meal this week is a Mary Me Chicken pasta! I have to run and grab some parmesan to make it today, so hopefully I have time to do that this afternoon. I haven’t ever made this one before, so I am excited to see how it turns out! Below, you can find my version of the recipe with any alterations that I’ve made. You can find the original recipe that I started with here!

Edit: I loved this recipe! It may not look like much, but it packs some serious flavor that I am a huge fan of. One thing I will caution you about: this recipe makes enough for 4-5 people, so if you’re making it for yourself you will have plenty of leftovers. It reheats well, though (or about as well as a microwave can do).
