I've made Marry Me Chicken Pasta, Marry Me Chicken Soup, and even Marry Me Chicken Meatballs, but somehow I never got around to the original. We're fixing that today, along with an upgraded classic: a completely effortless Onion Soup Meatloaf.

Both of these recipes are made as easy as humanly possible. No searing, no sautéing, and absolutely no onion chopping required. Just easy, hands-off prep that delivers big on flavor!

Here's the idea: tender boneless chicken thighs slow-cook for a few hours in a rich, creamy sauce made with cream cheese, heavy cream, sun-dried tomatoes, parmesan, and a blend of spices that gives it that signature savory kick. Right before serving, fresh spinach and basil go in and wilt down perfectly from the residual heat.

Then you serve it over pasta, mashed potatoes, or rice and let that sauce do all the talking!

If you want another low-prep dinner that lets you skip the heavy prep work, this meatloaf is a total game-changer. By using a simple packet of onion soup mix, you get a perfectly seasoned meatloaf with zero hassle.

We’ve completely leveled up the old-school recipe by adding a milk-and-panko panade to guarantee it stays so juicy, a tangy sweet glaze, and a crispy French fried onion topping for the perfect crunch. The post covers everything you need to know, including a handy table of common mistakes to avoid so your meatloaf never turns out dense or crumbly!
