This is the week when all the “best of” and “top gift” guides are published.

This blog post combines the ingredients from several recipes, Allrecipes.com, Cooked and loved.com and Love and lemons.com. Many recipes also call for Harissa (our favorite comes from NY Shuk).

There is a TikTok urban legend making the rounds, if you make this dish for your loved one, they’ll propose. A creamy, chickeny, love potion if you will. We’re a little skeptical, but in honor of our 14th wedding anniversary, I gave it a go. After eating Marry Me Chicken my husband said it wouldn’t elicit a proposal, but he’s open to vow renewals. We used a tagine to make this dish. We thought that the savory pie base would be perfect for browning the chicken and then making the thick, creamy sauce. And once we added the chicken back in to warm through, we covered it to keep all the moisture i ..read more
