Tasty Tuscan Chicken

September 1, 2023 by Louise Leave a Comment

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

A deliciously creamy, tomato-y sauce with chicken and fresh baby spinach, this Tasty Tuscan Chicken recipe is sure to be a weeknight favourite! I have made it with and without the mushrooms and maybe I am a little biased but it tastes way better with mushrooms, #justsaying. My family loved this recipe except for the spinach, that threw the kids a little of course, you know, the greenery in a dish seems to have that affect on little people. They are getting better and more adventurous with their eating though as they get older. Anyone else find that with their kids too? Fussiness levels go down? They start off not super fussy then they get fussy and then they seem to taper off to “not too fussy again”. It’s the fussy rollercoaster guys.

I think the secret with this dish is to make the chicken really thin. You can cut the chicken breasts across the middle to create thin little chicken steaks or you can use a kitchen hammer to pound the flesh thinner. Either way, thin steaks cook quicker and are easier to eat.

I am personally not a huge fan of eating chicken (my family is though) but I will lap this sauce over mashed potatoes or even jacket potatoes and it is sublime! If you can’t find Sundried Tomato paste, then you can easily just buy a bag of sundried tomatoes in oil and blend them (drain the oil though) or you could easily just leave them whole if that is your preference.

Oooooh yes, it is super yummy. The combination of cream , parmesan, mushroom, onion, sundried tomatoes and garlic is a combo made in heaven! Find the recipe below.

Enjoy you guys! If you love chicken recipes, you may also like these:
