‘Marry me chicken’ went viral last year on TikTok and this is my super simple take on a one-pan pasta version. The recipe was given the name because apparently it’s so good that anyone you make it for will want to marry you!
You only need one pan and 30 minutes to make this really tasty dinner which I reckon everyone will love.
