Marry Me Chicken Recipe

Marry Me Chicken is creamy, juicy, and full of flavor! It’s said that this chicken dinner is so good that if you make it for your partner, a marriage proposal will be his next question.

This creamy chicken is also family-friendly, and definitely a crowd-pleaser! All you need to make this wonderful dish is just a few ingredients and half an hour from your time.

One of my most popular recipes on the blog is my Instant Pot Tuscan Chicken, a recipe with so many 5-star ratings. Everyone loves chicken cooked in a cream sauce, and when it’s combined with garlic, parmesan cheese, and sundried tomatoes, honestly there’s no better combination.

Marry Me chicken is as good as the Tuscan chicken, if not better. You’d think that it’s very similar, but it tastes quite different and the textures are probably more interesting.

Another family favorite where chicken is combined with a creamy incredible sauce, and the whole thing is cooked in just 25 minutes is this creamy lemon chicken. It’s a family favorite, and if you still haven’t seen it, make sure that you check it out and give it a try!

Now let’s talk about the name. It’s a funny name and I’m sure you agree with me. When I first heard of it, I thought, what? Who marries who and why? But it’s said that because of how amazing this recipe is, if you make it for your partner they’ll instantly fall in love with your cooking and will propose immediately because the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, right? Sounds good? So let’s get cooking!

It’s a very easy recipe and requires less than 30 minutes of your time. So you can still make it even if a dinner date isn’t properly planned in advance as long as you have all of the ingredients.
