The story behind Marry Me Chicken says that if you make this for your significant other, it’s so good that a proposal is soon to follow. This is a creamy, gluten free version that is packed full of flavor. Serve over pasta (my favorite) or mashed potatoes, and let the chicken do the rest of the talking! Until the proposal, that is.

-Dredge each chicken breast in flour mixture then set aside.
