Crock Pot Marry Me Chicken is the kind of dinner that makes people fall in love — with the cook, with the food, with life itself. Tender, slow-cooked chicken breast simmered in a rich, creamy sauce with garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, and just the right touch of decadence. It’s so flavorful and melt-in-your-mouth delicious, it’s earned a reputation for prompting spontaneous proposals — hence the name. Whether you’re feeding family or impressing a date, this one’s a winner. 💛
