"Marry Me" Chicken Pasta
'Marry Me' Chicken Pasta is a creamy main course of tender chicken thigh, fusilli, sun dried tomatoes and bell pepper in a rich paprika cream sauce. The Thermomix TM7 handles everything in one bowl: chopping, sautéing and simmering, so the sauce develops deep flavour without stirring or watching the pan.
About this recipe
'Marry Me' Chicken Pasta in the Thermomix TM7 is the kind of creamy chicken pasta recipe that lives up to its name: one bite of tender chicken thigh in a sun dried tomato cream sauce and marriage proposals may follow. This all-in-one kitchen machine turns a restaurant-style date-night dinner into an easy weeknight dinner, because the mixing bowl does the chopping, sautéing and simmering in sequence. The garlic and bell pepper are chopped in seconds, the paprika blooms in the heat for maximum aroma, and the heavy whipping cream simmers gently without ever splitting or sticking. Fusilli is the ideal pasta here, as its twists catch every bit of the velvety sauce studded with sun dried tomatoes. Chicken stock paste adds savoury depth while the chicken thigh stays juicy. Whether you are cooking to impress a partner or simply craving serious comfort food, these Thermomix TM7 recipes for chicken pasta deliver maximum flavour with minimum washing up.
Preparation tips
- Cut the chicken thighs into even, bite-sized pieces before they go into the mixing bowl so they cook uniformly and stay juicy alongside the fusilli and cream sauce.
- Taste the sauce just before serving and adjust with extra ground pepper or a pinch of salt, since sun dried tomatoes and chicken stock paste both bring plenty of savoury saltiness on their own.
- Serve the pasta immediately in warmed bowls with a crisp green salad; if you have leftovers, store the 'Marry Me' chicken pasta in an airtight container in the fridge and reheat gently with a splash of cream.
Recipe variations
- Lactose-free version: replace the heavy whipping cream with lactose-free cooking cream or a light cashew cream blended smooth in the Thermomix TM7, keeping the same silky texture with the sun dried tomatoes and chicken thigh.
- Festive twist: add a splash of white wine before the cream and stir through fresh basil and grated Parmesan at the end, turning this chicken pasta into an elegant Christmas or anniversary dinner.
