Making the same Marry Me Chicken again is easy when that creamy sun-dried tomato sauce is the part everyone wants. These 17 recipes take the same garlicky, tomato-rich idea into salmon, shrimp, steak, pasta, beans, lentils, tofu, meatballs, and soup. The exact sauce changes from one recipe to the next, with heavy cream and Parmesan in some and coconut milk or vegan cream in others. That range keeps the familiar Marry Me flavor profile on the table without serving the same chicken dinner over and over.
Marry Me Butter Beans
A silky skillet sauce turns Marry Me Butter Beans into a 30-minute dinner that serves four.

The beans give the creamy sauce plenty to cling to without adding pasta or meat. Spoon it into bowls with crusty bread, rice, or roasted vegetables when you want the Marry Me flavor in a hearty bean-based meal.

Marry Me Shrimp Pasta
