Crockpot Marry Me Chicken with a Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato Sauce

Crockpot Marry Me Chicken isn’t just some cutesy internet name—it’s a creamy, slow-cooked dinner that makes people fall in love with whoever made it. I first tried this on a lazy Sunday when I didn’t feel like doing much more than dumping a few things in a slow cooker, and wow... that first bite was all it took. The chicken turns melt-in-your-mouth tender, the sauce—oh that sauce—is packed with sun-dried tomato flavor, and the whole thing feels like comfort food that got dressed up for a fancy dinner. Let’s be honest, sometimes the only thing standing between me and a home-cooked meal is the energy to clean up after it. This one? Hardly any mess. It’s great for busy weeknights, lazy weekends, or when you’re hosting guests but secretly just want to nap. We all have those days. Don’t be surprised if someone proposes after they try it. If not marriage, at least expect a “can you make that again?”
