Everyone on the internet has a marry me chicken recipe. So I had to throw my hat in the ring as well. Taking the classic marry me vibes and reccessifying it, so to speak.

This recipe features super affordable ingredients all cooked together in one pot to amplify their flavors and reduce your dirty dishes.

Why I love this recipe is not only how easy it is, but how far you can stretch it. Because it’s so filling, a little bit goes a long way, keeping you full for longer and making portions smaller.

So try not to fall in love with me after you make this recipe, but break this out for a significant other if you’re trying to impress them.
