Marry Me Chicken

If you want to get right for Valentine’s Day (or any day!) then Marry Me Chicken is the dish you need on the menu!

Marry Me Chicken only needs a few basic ingredients that you probably already have on hand & can easily get from the grocery store.

It’s tender, saucy, savory & I served mine over some of that fancy lasagna looking pasta. I’m telling you, this Marry Me Chicken will have you…or somebody…saying I do! #LetsVibe
