What To Eat With Crockpot Marry Me Chicken ?

Crockpot Marry Me Chicken goes well with many tasty side dishes and since it has a creamy sauce it is especially good with foods that soak up all that flavor for example I like to add mashed potatoes because they are soft and perfect for the creamy sauce or I use pasta like fettuccine or penne then I toss the chicken and sauce right on top just like I did in this recipe today .

FAQ’S

Can I use frozen chicken ?

Yes, but it’s safer to thaw it first before using in a slow cooker to ensure even cooking.

What can I use instead of sun-dried tomatoes ?

You can use cherry tomatoes or skip them, but they really add special flavor.

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts ?

Definitely! Thighs are more juicy and forgiving if cooked longer.
