Baked Chicken and Pasta with Marry Me Chicken Gravy

There’s nothing quite like the aroma of a hearty baked chicken and pasta dish wafting through the kitchen—especially when it’s bubbling with creamy, flavorful Marry Me Chicken gravy. It’s the kind of comfort food that feels indulgent yet effortless, and it’s perfect for busy weeknights, cozy weekends, or anytime you want something both satisfying and simple.

At the heart of this baked dish is Le Sauce & Co.’s Marry Me Chicken gourmet gravy, which takes the entire meal to the next level. This creamy, dreamy sauce is packed with real ingredients like garlic, parmesan, and sun-dried tomatoes, giving it a homemade richness without any of the work. Just heat, pour, and let it do the heavy lifting in flavor.

This recipe begins with cooked pasta—something like penne, rotini, or rigatoni works best because it holds the sauce in all its ridges and swirls. Then you add juicy pieces of seasoned, cooked chicken breast or thighs. The pasta and chicken get tossed together with Marry Me Chicken gravy, turning into a creamy, savory mixture that’s already delicious before it even hits the oven.

But what truly sets this dish apart is the baked finish. Once everything is combined and layered into a casserole dish, it’s topped with shredded mozzarella or a sprinkle of parmesan and baked until golden and bubbly. The cheese melts into the sauce, forming a slightly crisped, cheesy crust that contrasts beautifully with the creamy interior. Every forkful delivers tender chicken, al dente pasta, and luscious gravy with a hit of melted cheese.

The best part? It’s incredibly versatile. Want to add some greens? Throw in a handful of baby spinach or chopped kale before baking. Have extra vegetables like mushrooms, zucchini, or roasted red peppers? Stir them in for a complete one-dish meal. The gravy pairs beautifully with all kinds of additions, making it easy to customize based on what’s in your fridge.

This dish is also ideal for meal prepping or sharing. It makes four generous servings and holds up well for leftovers. Just reheat a portion in the microwave or oven and enjoy a delicious, homemade lunch or dinner without lifting a finger.

And if you’re hosting a dinner party or feeding guests, this baked pasta is a crowd-pleaser that looks as impressive as it tastes. You can prep it in advance, refrigerate, and bake right before guests arrive. Pair it with a green salad and some crusty bread, and you’ve got an effortless meal that feels gourmet.

So if you're looking for a way to simplify dinner while still making it feel special, this Baked Chicken Pasta with Marry Me Chicken Gravy is your new go-to. It’s everything we love about comfort food—warm, rich, satisfying—but made easy thanks to high-quality, ready-to-use sauce. One bite, and you’ll understand why it’s called Marry Me—because people will definitely want seconds
