The Best Tuscan Chicken Recipe I’ve Ever Made
I was on the hunt for the best Tuscan chicken recipe for months before I came across this one on the delish website. As soon as I tried it, I was obsessed. Not only is it super easy to make, but it’s a total crowd-pleaser. Everyone I’ve made it for loves it as much as I do.
A few quick notes after making this recipe several times —
You can easily swap out sun-dried tomatoes for the cherry tomatoes if that’s all you have. I’ve used these a few times and they’re great.
It might seem weird to add lemon to this recipe, but I promise it makes a big difference. The acidity helps balance out the creaminess.
Also, to speed things up a bit with this recipe, I will typically swap out the cloves of garlic for some pre-diced garlic in a jar. It saves some chopping and takes 2 seconds to toss into the skillet.
If you end up trying this recipe, I’d love to know your thoughts!
