Creamy Tuscan chicken is one of the tastiest recipes I have ever had, yet it’s so simple to make as the dish can be made in 30 minutes or less. All you need is a few simple ingredients which you will probably have in your pantry and fridge. For example, the recipe calls for chicken breasts, cream, salt, pepper, oregano, butter, garlic, cherry tomatoes, baby spinach, parmesan cheese, and of course less than 30 minutes of your time. Yes, folks, that’s all. This makes It such a great midweek meal.
Description
I use boneless, skinless chicken breast as they are healthy and easy to get, but you can use the cut of your choice. Just adjust the cooking time accordingly, especially if you are using bone-in meat. You can always alter the spices to meet your liking as well. For example, if you're a garlic or oregano lover simply add more. If you are not, add less.
The dish goes great with a. nice salad and a glass of white wine. Watch the video, give our creamy Tuscany chicken a try, and let us know what you think.
