"Engagement Chicken" comes from Glamour magazine in the early 80s; the recipe was passed around, and those who cooked it for their boyfriends found said boyfriends on one knee with a ring not long after. They eventually published the recipe, and now claim 70 marriages due to chicken with herbs. Well, we claim zero marriages except our own around here, but this chicken with a delectable creamy-thyme sauce could easily raise our numbers. And with the corn and potatoes on the side, we're hoping at least one of you gents or ladies decides to pop the question to your best gal (or guy).
