What Is Marry Me Chicken?

 

Delish developed the ORIGINAL “Marry Me” chicken that’s gone viral on TikTok. This recipe has become so iconic that even The New York Times covered it, and their version became their most popular recipe of 2023, seven years after the original was created. Chicken breasts are seared until golden brown before being baked in a simple yet incredibly satisfying cream sauce, resulting in a dish that’s bursting with flavour in every bite. Whether it’s for a special Valentine’s Day meal or an extra-special weeknight dinner, be prepared… this chicken just might inspire a confession of love at first bite.

 

Marry Me Chicken Ingredients

 

Marry Me Chicken is a dish that’s taken the social media world by storm, and for good reason. This slow cooker / crockpot recipe combines tender chicken with a rich, creamy sauce that’s bursting with flavour. When prepared in a slow cooker, it becomes even more irresistible. For this slow cooker version of Marry Me Chicken, you’ll need the following key ingredients:

 

  • Chicken breasts: Opt for boneless, skinless chicken breasts for easy eating and preparation.
  • Sun-dried tomatoes: These add a tangy, sweet depth to the dish.
  • Cream: This creates the luxurious, velvety sauce that makes the dish so special.
  • Garlic: Fresh garlic cloves bring a punch of flavour to the sauce.
  • Chicken stock: This helps to create a rich base for the sauce.
  • Parmesan cheese: Adds a salty, umami flavour that complements the cream sauce beautifully.
  • Italian herbs: A blend of dried herbs like oregano, basil, and thyme enhances the overall taste.
  • Salt and pepper: Essential for seasoning the dish to perfection.

 

What Makes Marry Me Chicken So Good?

 

The creamy sauce is what truly sets this dish apart. The sun-dried tomatoes add a tangy sweetness that perfectly complements the savoury elements, while the garlic and herbs infuse the dish with aromatic depth. Not only that, the slow cooking process allows all these flavours to meld together beautifully, resulting in a dish that’s incredibly well-balanced and satisfying.
