Still looking for ideas?

Then keep scrolling!

Here are 19 sides that go well with marry me chicken:

1. Roasted Veggies

Ah, roasted vegetables.

The perfect side dish for so many meals, and marry me chicken is no different!

Roasting brings out the natural sweetness of veggies, and pairs perfectly with the savory flavors of marry me chicken.

I like to roast a mix of veggies like Brussels sprouts, carrots, sweet potatoes, and red onions.

But really, you can use whatever veggies you have on hand.

Just make sure to cut them into uniform pieces so they cook evenly.

Pro Tip: If you want to get a little fancy, try roasting your veggies with some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme.

2. Garden Salad

If simplicity is what you’re going for, a green salad is the perfect side dish to serve with marry me chicken.

But if you want to get a little bit more creative, try adding some roasted vegetables to your salad.

Roasted vegetables add both flavor and texture to a salad, and they can be made ahead of time so that you’re not scrambling at the last minute.

Try roasting some cherry tomatoes, red onions, or even some sliced mushrooms.

And don’t forget the dressing!

A simple vinaigrette is all you need to take your salad from ordinary to extraordinary.

Pro Tip: When roasting vegetables for your salad, make sure to roast them in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with foil or parchment paper. This will help prevent them from sticking and making a mess.

3. Mashed Potatoes

Sometimes, mashing up a few simple ingredients is all it takes to create a delicious and timeless side dish. Mashed potatoes are the perfect accompaniment to roasted chicken, grilled steak, or sauteed vegetables.

They can be made with just a few ingredients – potatoes, butter, milk, and salt – and are easily customized to your liking with the addition of shredded cheese, chopped herbs, or garlic.

Pro Tip: For extra creamy mashed potatoes, use Yukon Gold or Russet potatoes. For a lighter mashed potato, use red potatoes or even sweet potatoes.

4. Mexican Corn Off the Cob

If you like Mexican food, then you will love this Mexican Corn Off the Cob recipe!

It is a delicious and easy side dish that goes great with marry me chicken.

This corn dish is made with fresh corn, butter, lime juice, chili powder, and cotija cheese.

Plus, it only requires a few simple ingredients that you probably already have in your kitchen.

To make this dish, simply slice the zucchini into thin rounds, toss with olive oil and your favorite seasonings, then roast in a hot oven until tender and lightly browned.

Pro Tip: For extra flavor, try roasting the zucchini rounds on a bed of fresh herbs.

6. Steamed Broccoli with Cheese

Since broccoli can be a bit bland on its own, I like to steam it and top it with cheese.

It’s a quick and easy side dish that goes well with almost anything.

Plus, the cheese adds some extra flavor and nutrition.

15. Sweet Potato Fries

I love a plate of some good old fashioned sweet potato fries.

They are the perfect side to my all time favorite “Marry Me Chicken”.

The two go so well together because the chicken is savory with a hint of sweetness and the sweet potato fries are, well, sweet and salty.

I always make sure to get a good crispy coating on my sweet potatoes before baking them.

This ensures that they will be nice and crispy on the outside while still being soft and fluffy on the inside.

Pro Tip: If you want extra crispy sweet potato fries, try double frying them.

First, fry them in oil until they are cooked through but not yet browned.

Then remove them from the oil and let them cool for a few minutes before frying them again until they are golden brown and delicious.

16. Caesar Salad

How do you make a good Caesar salad?

Start with a bed of crisp romaine lettuce, then add in shredded Parmesan cheese, croutons, and a creamy dressing.

The dressing is key – it should be thick and flavorful, made with anchovies, garlic, lemon juice, olive oil, and egg yolks.

A good Caesar salad is the perfect side dish to rich dishes like marry me chicken.

Pro Tip: If you want to lighten up your dressing, swap out some of the olive oil for water.

17. Garlic Bread with Cheese

Garlicky, cheesy, and just a little bit messy, garlic bread is the perfect side dish to serve with rich and creamy marry me chicken.

The best garlic bread is made with a good quality loaf of bread, plenty of butter, and lots of fresh garlic.
