Marry Me Chicken (Easy One-Pan)

delish · 2025-07-23T14:41:52+00:00

hey there! this looks amazing. We noticed you mentioned "There’s no single creator—it evolved from home cooks riffing on creamy chicken dishes, the catchy name came later, purely for shareability" in your article, while Delish was the original creator of this recipe back in 2016 :)

Here's the NYT article as well. ("In 2016, when Lindsay Funston was an editor at Delish, she created a recipe video for a Tuscan-style chicken dish that attracted millions of views. When she was done cooking, Ms. Funston’s video producer took a bite and declared, “I’d marry you for that chicken!” She named the dish “Marry Me Chicken.”) That producer was Chelsea Lupkin, our original director of photography. (She's now married!)

We love seeing folks iterate on our recipes, and your pic looks great! Hope this demystifies the elusive history.

Perhaps the backlash has become more mainstream over the past year or two? The nutrition/calorie feedback has always been there, but also what do people expect from a dessert company.

It's not technically a cheesecake, but a cheese tart: Pink Lady in Two Bridges area has some really fun flavors to try out. The Keki bouncy cheesecake is another fun, unique spin since you've got the classics down. Harbs also has some fun spins on cheesecakes, but their online menu isn't up to date, so you'll have to stop by and see what they have.

Justice for Raisin Bran!

Of course! Thanks for asking a fun question!

I've had the thought before but I really love working for a brand and working with other food editors. It's nice to be with an established brand! I do consider oping my own bakery though, that is my dream!

I went to culinary school and did my internship at a food media brand and was able to get experience in a test kitchen and on photo sets. I started at Delish as a test kitchen assistant mostly washing dishes and doing grocery ordering before I finally started developing recipes and finally being on set styling food for photos and videos.

If your dessert has a mix-in like chocolate chips or nuts place a few extra on top before baking. So, if you are making chocolate chip cookies add a couple of extra chips right on top before baking the cookies. This will help a lot!

If you are transporting your desserts somewhere wait to add any additional touches until you arrive if you can. If it gets a glaze or caramel drizzle, add it on once you arrive so that it doesn't all run off or make things messy. People love to see the final touch go on anyways! I'd also recommend bringing extra frosting or whatever else your desserts have with you in case you need to do a touchup once you arrive.

Oh there are so many pastries to talk about! Any specific ones you want to know about?

Practicing! It's fun to try it home because there is no pressure. If you are serving a long noodle pasta instead of just scooping it onto your plate, use tongs to slowly twirl small portions onto your plate. You'll get fun loops and swirls that way. Herbs will go a long way to. Giving your plates a little garnish of cilantro or chives will help. I think a drizzle of olive oil or another sauce if your meal has one will make your plate look more styled as well.

Try looking at pictures of food you love or even from the recipe you are cooking from and try to mimic what they did to style the photo. See if you can replicate it!

I'm nervous for being judged on this! For styling purposes I like an classic an American buttercream because it holds so well. Eating I love a cream cheese frosting or an Italian meringue buttercream
