Marry me butter is the easiest way to turn any recipe into a proposal-worthy dinner

Everyone knows (and loves) Marry Me chicken, but if you’re looking to add a bit of the savory goodness that is that recipe to literally any dish, then this flavor-packed whipped butter will do the trick. We took all of the main character Marry Me ingredients—sundried tomatoes, garlic, basil, thyme, and Parmesan—and folded them in for a spread that you can smear on everything, from charred corn and toasted sourdough to grilled pork chops and roasted potatoes.

Part of what makes our OG recipe so irresistible is the heavy cream-based sauce that has enough fat to carry all of the aromatics and umami, helping them really pack a punch on your palate. This recipe follows the same logic, swapping the heavy cream for butter as the vehicle to drive all of the flavor.
