There’s something truly special about a dish that’s simple, flavorful, and leaves you feeling completely satisfied—and that’s exactly what you get with Marry Me Chicken served alongside a crisp, fresh side salad. This isn’t your average chicken dinner. It’s a meal that feels elegant but is incredibly easy to make, perfect for a cozy weeknight at home or even an impromptu date night when you want to serve something that impresses without stress.
At the heart of this dish is Le Sauce & Co.’s Marry Me Chicken Gourmet Gravy. It’s rich, creamy, and full of real ingredients like garlic, parmesan, and sun-dried tomatoes. The flavor is deep, savory, and just a little bit indulgent—exactly what you’d expect from something with a name as bold as Marry Me. The beauty of this sauce is that it tastes like it simmered all day, but it’s ready to go when you are. Just heat it up and pour it over your perfectly cooked chicken. That’s it.
To keep things simple and fresh, this version of the dish skips the pasta or potatoes and instead pairs the creamy chicken with a vibrant side salad. The contrast is what makes it sing. You get juicy, tender chicken wrapped in velvety sauce next to a crunchy, refreshing salad with bright acidity—maybe a lemon vinaigrette, balsamic drizzle, or your favorite light dressing. Together, they strike a perfect balance between hearty and light.
Cooking the chicken couldn’t be easier. A quick sear in a skillet until golden brown, then simmered gently in the sauce until cooked through. The chicken soaks up all the flavor of the gravy while staying juicy and tender. You can use boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs—whatever you prefer or have on hand. Either way, the end result is a plate full of comfort and class.
This meal is also ideal when you don’t want leftovers piling up in the fridge. It’s portioned beautifully for two people, especially if you're using one pouch of the Marry Me Chicken sauce. There’s no waste, no overthinking—just a simple, delicious dinner with clean plates at the end.
And let’s talk about presentation. Even though it’s a low-effort meal, it looks impressive. Serve the chicken sliced over a bed of sauce with the salad on the side, maybe a sprinkle of parmesan or fresh herbs on top. It’s the kind of meal that feels like a treat, even though it only took 20 minutes to pull together.
So whether you're cooking for a loved one or just want to treat yourself to something cozy and elevated, Marry Me Chicken with a Side Salad is the answer. It’s proof that great meals don’t need to be complicated. With one pouch of gourmet gravy and a few fresh ingredients, dinner is not just done—it’s delicious.
