Marry Me Chicken's Chic Older Sister

cook:

45 min

4 servings

I had this intense craving for a tomatoey creamy chicken and then realized well wow, that’s basically just Marry Me Chicken. But this one is like 10000 times better. A solid 10/10 dinner and you can even add extra chicken thighs to give yourself some leftovies. I personally like to eat this with bone broth rice, but make whatever carb you think sounds best!
