    What To Serve With Marry Me Chicken

Notes

  • Use a block or wedge of Parmesan cheese and grate it yourself! Freshly grated Parmesan cheese melts more smoothly and imparts a richer flavor than pre-grated cheese with anti-caking agents.
  • Chicken breasts cook at different rates depending on their thickness. To make sure they’re cooked through and safe to eat, insert a thermometer into the thickest part and aim for 165°F.
  • Instead of classic pasta noodles, you can serve the TikTok viral Marry Me Chicken over veggie dishes like spaghetti squash, sauteed asparagus, or grilled corn!
