This recipe for Marry-Me Chicken is one of the most beloved of those viral recipes, having been viewed a total of 295 million times on TikTok.

This version is an elevated traditional Italian-style recipe, which uses a slow cooker to make it extra special. If you are looking to pop the question any time soon – or just want a great chicken recipe – this might be the one for you.
