Creating Marry Me Chicken Pasta is simple with these clear steps:

6. Cook the Pasta: Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to package instructions in a large pot of salted boiling water. Drain and set aside.
7. Combine: Slice the cooked chicken and return it to the skillet with the cream sauce. Add the drained pasta and toss everything together until well coated.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
9. Garnish: Serve hot, garnished with fresh basil for an added touch.
