We gave Marry Me Chicken a vegetarian twist by replacing the traditional chicken with tender cabbage wedges, all coated in a rich and flavorful sun-dried tomato cream sauce.

Savor this plant-based take on Marry Me Chicken, featuring butternut squash steaks in place of chicken, all nestled in a creamy sun-dried tomato sauce. Choose butternut squash with a long neck for the steaks, and use the leftover bulb and trimmings for roasting or making soup. Serve this comforting dinner with a side of sautéed greens and crusty whole-grain bread for sopping up the sauce.
Marry Me Scalloped Potatoes

Inspired by “marry me” chicken, these creamy, cheesy scalloped potatoes get a zesty kick from sun-dried tomatoes and thyme. While you can slice the potatoes by hand, a mandoline can speed up the process and give you perfect, even slices. For a different twist, swap out the Parmesan cheese for Gruyère or white Cheddar.
Cauliflower Steaks with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

These cauliflower steaks with sun-dried tomato cream sauce are easy to make. Each head of cauliflower yields about two steaks. You can roast any extra florets that fall off the core, or save them for another night. Serve this vegetarian dinner with a piece of crusty whole-grain bread to sop up the leftover sauce.
Broccoli Casserole with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce
Sun-dried tomatoes pull double duty in this flavorful casserole: the oil is used to sauté the onion and garlic while the tomatoes are added to the sauce. The creamy sauce tops broccoli for a cheesy side dish that all will love.
Cabbage Steaks with Sun-Dried Tomato Cream Sauce

Thick slices of cabbage are tender and smothered in a flavorful sun-dried tomato cream sauce in this easy vegetarian cabbage steak recipe. You’ll inevitably have large and smaller “steaks” cut from the head. Place the large cabbage steaks on the outside edges of the baking sheet, with the smaller ones toward the center. The edges of the baking sheet are the hottest, so larger steaks will benefit from the extra heat. Roast any extra cabbage separately or store and save for another use.
Marry Me White Bean & Spinach Skillet

This Marry Me White Bean & Spinach Skillet is a different take on Marry Me Chicken—a dish traditionally made with chicken coated in a sun-dried tomato cream sauce. By swapping in fiber-packed white beans and spinach as the main ingredients, we’ve given it a vegetarian spin. You’ll want to sop up every last bit of sauce, so serve this with a nice hunk of crusty whole-grain bread.
