Warehouses across the country are now carrying the Marry Me Chicken Pasta Kit from Rana in the refrigerated foods section. Inspired by <em data-node-id=\"2.2\">Delish\u2019s<\/em> viral Marry Me Chicken recipe, the ready-to-heat dinner is meant to be an easy, creamy comfort meal. And judging by social media reactions, people have a lot of feelings about it. <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"3\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The kit includes everything you need to make a \u201cMarry Me\u201d meal with minimal effort. All you have to do is empty the contents of the kit into the included tray, then microwave it until warm. In just minutes, you can have tender chicken, pasta, rich creamy sauce, and the promise that your partner (or roommate, or yourself) will be ready to put a ring down after a single bite.  <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"instagram\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-16\" data-node-id=\"4\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"5\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">Costco lovers on Instagram reacted with a mix of enthusiasm and playful skepticism. One commenter posted, \u201cI\u2019m here for anything that helps me avoid cooking\u2014sign me up.\u201d Another fan joked, <strong data-node-id=\"5.1\">\u201c<\/strong>If this pasta gets me a proposal, I\u2019ll marry Costco instead.\u201d The overwhelmingly positive thread featured emoji after emoji of hearts, forks, and rings, even if no one was quite ready to change their relationship status on the spot.  <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"watch-next\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-17\" data-node-id=\"6\" class=\"embed\"\/>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"7\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">The Marry Me Chicken Pasta Kit comes with seasoned chicken pieces, pasta, and a creamy tomato-based sauce. As the originators of the recipe, <em data-node-id=\"7.3\">Delish<\/em> can confirm that the sauce contains similar ingredients to our own version, with sun-dried tomatoes, cream, and Parmesan. But what we <em data-node-id=\"7.5\">can\u2019t<\/em> confirm is how well it stacks up next to the OG. (Once we get our hands on a kit, we\u2019ll report back.) <\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"8\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/discovering_costco\" target=\"_blank\" data-vars-ga-outbound-link=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/discovering_costco\" data-vars-ga-ux-element=\"Hyperlink\" data-vars-ga-call-to-action=\" @discovering_costco\" data-node-id=\"8.0\" class=\"body-link css-1i7jlb0 emevuu60\"> @discovering_costco<\/a>, one of the Instagram users who shared the product, had less-than-stellar reviews. While she appreciated the convenience of the microwave meal, she argued that the sauce was too rich and heavy. The decadence is, arguably, kind of the point. But it does confirm that this recipe pairs particularly well with something light, like a green salad.<\/p>\n<p data-journey-content=\"true\" data-node-id=\"9\" class=\"css-6wxqfj emevuu60\">If you already love \u201cMarry Me\u201d recipes, this could potentially be a great shortcut when you\u2019re still looking for romance on a busy weeknight. We\u2019ll always be partial to homemade, but it seems like fans are already falling hard for this store-bought version. <\/p>\n<section data-embed=\"editorial-link\" data-lazy-id=\"P0-18\" data-node-id=\"10\" class=\"embed\">\n<aside class=\"css-fcvumo e94w1mj1\"\/><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Costco has introduced a new Marry Me Chicken Pasta Kit in partnership with Rana, inspired by Delish\u2019s viral Marry Me Chicken.
