Hey, busy bees! Love is in the air! That’s why today, I’m sharing my husband’s Marry Me Chicken Recipe. After tasting it on a past Valentine’s Day, I practically begged my husband for the secret. Let’s just say, the name “Marry Me Chicken” makes perfect sense after one bite! 😍
On our first Valentine’s Day together, years ago, little did I know, my husband had a surprise. Candlelight, our favorite music, and this creamy, savory chicken dish. It was love at first bite, not just for the food, but for the effort and thoughtfulness behind it. It’s a love letter, from a man who spoke his heart through food. Tears rolling down cheeks, not from the onions, but from the realization that our love story wasn’t written in words, but cooked in pots and shared on plates. 💌
Ever since, this Marry Me Chicken Recipe has become our special Valentine’s dinner date meal. And now, I’m sharing it with you, busy bees! 🥂

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 onion, finely diced
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1/2 cup dry white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions:
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, shaking off any excess.
- Melt the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Don’t crowd the pan, cook the chicken in batches until golden brown. Set aside.
- In the same skillet, sauté the onion and garlic until softened. Add the oregano and thyme, letting them release their fragrance for a few seconds.
- Pour in the white wine and let it simmer for a minute, scraping up any browned bits. Then, add the chicken broth and bring to a boil.
- Reduce heat and stir in the heavy cream. Let it simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Sprinkle in the Parmesan cheese and stir until melted and creamy. Add the chicken back to the pan and let it simmer for another 5 minutes, or until cooked through.
