Chicken in cream sauce

The dish is perfect to serve with pasta, here I have used rigatoni, but you can also serve it with rice, potato mash or with cauliflower or broccoli . It is a super family-friendly dish that is perfect for everyday life, but it can also easily be served at the weekend, with a glass of wine.

I almost always just use cooking cream when I make marry me chicken and the dish turns out really creamy. So you don’t need to use whipping cream to make it so creamy. It is super delicious to make chicken in cream sauce and then eat it with pasta. This means that the sauce is also turned together with the pasta, and it’s just super good, I think. But as I also write, you can also easily serve it with something else. It depends a little on what you want the most.

Sides for marry me chicken

After all, it is a completely classic dish, where you serve potatoes, rice or pasta. Therefore, it will be super delicious if you make a good green salad with it. For example, it could be this spinach salad with burrata and pickled red onions or tomato salad with strawberries.
