Marry Me Chicken Recipe FAQs
1. Can I use chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts?
Yes, you can use boneless, skinless chicken thighs instead of chicken breasts. Chicken thighs add a slightly richer flavor, but they do take a bit longer to cook. Make sure to cook them until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F to ensure they’re fully cooked through. You may need to add a few extra minutes of cooking time compared to chicken breasts, so check for doneness before serving.
2. Can I make this dish without cream?
If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute the heavy cream with half-and-half or coconut milk for a dairy-free option. Keep in mind this may slightly change the flavor and texture.
3. What kind of cheese is best for this recipe?
Grated Parmesan is ideal, but you can also use Romano or Asiago cheese for a slightly different flavor profile. Just make sure it melts well into the sauce.
