This oven baked 5-ingredient marry me chicken pasta is the kind of dish that quietly steals the whole party. My sister-in-law made a version of this for her anniversary—big blue baking dish in the center of the table, everyone hovering—and by the end of the night every guest had snapped a photo of the recipe card. It’s a simplified spin on the viral “marry me chicken” idea: tender chicken baked in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce, tossed with pasta and plenty of Parmesan. Everything happens in one baking dish, with pantry-friendly ingredients, and the result feels special enough for a celebration but easy enough for a Tuesday night.
Serve this rich, creamy pasta with something bright and crisp alongside—think a simple green salad with a lemony vinaigrette or a bowl of lightly dressed arugula. Garlic bread or warm crusty baguette is perfect for swiping up the extra sauce in the bottom of the dish. A chilled glass of Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio works nicely with the sun-dried tomatoes and Parmesan, while sparkling water with a squeeze of lemon keeps things refreshing for a crowd.
