Marry Me Chicken
as written — Named for the (only half-joking) claim that it's good enough to prompt a proposal.

Google's #2 most-searched recipe in the world in 2025 — a dish that built its entire reputation on its name.
Nobody can pin down exactly who coined the name, but food blogs picked it up in the mid-2010s and it found a second, much bigger life on TikTok in 2023–2025, where the dramatic name did as much work as the recipe itself. It's a genuinely modern dish in the truest sense — no century-old myth, just a good sauce and a name too good not to click on.
What makes it taste like that
The sauce is built in the same pan the chicken was seared in, so it picks up every browned bit left behind. Sun-dried tomatoes bring concentrated sweetness and acidity that keeps the cream from tasting flat, and a scatter of chili flakes and fresh basil at the end keeps it from feeling one-note.
Chef's note
Pull the chicken the moment it's cooked through — it keeps cooking a little more once it goes back into the hot sauce.
