For the main meal, our top recipe this year was for the New York Times’ ‘Marry Me Chicken’.

If you’re unfamiliar, this recipe comes from the popular NYT article titled ‘The Chicken Recipe That Might Put a Ring on It’. In a nutshell the recipe takes chicken breasts and cooks them in a thick, cream-based sauce. Delicious. Delightful. Some might even say proposal-worthy.
