Have you tried Merry me Chicken yet? If not, you have to try this dish.

I first heard of this recipe from a lady on Tik Tok and I have made it several ways since then. All of which have been delicious, there is a few different variations to making this. Some use basil while others use spinach. Some omit the tomato sauce and keep the sun-dried tomatoes etc. For this recipe here I am keeping it pretty traditional. It is super simple to make and serves great alongside any type of pasta or even quinoa.

MARRY ME CHICKEN VS TUSCAN CHICKEN

The only difference between these two popular dishes is that Marry Me Chicken uses “Red Pepper Flakes” and some “Tomato paste” . I typically omit both as I much prefer the sun-dried tomatoes and chicken / cream / parmesan flavors to dominate the dish.

WHAT DOES MARRY ME CHICKEN TASTE LIKE

It tastes a lot like Tuscan Chicken which is a Sicilian Italian dish. Which has seasoned chicken cooked in a creamy chicken cream broth along with spinach or basil and sun dried tomatoes or fresh baby tomatoes and of course parmesan cheese and lemons.
