I made your Creamy Tuscan Chicken last night. It was good, but a little richer than the food I usually eat. Also, I am cooking just for myself, not a family. Do you think I could freeze some of it for later? Thanks for the recipe!
HOLY WOW!! This recipe is fantastic! Easy to make, really delicious, and a quick clean-up. My husband responded after two bites with, “Wow! This is really great!”. Because we are self-isolating due to Covid-19 I used skinless, boneless breast tenders and fresh garlic because it’s what I had on hand. Will definitely be adding this to our menu rotation when I can get to the store again. Thank you for a recipe I’ll be making for years to come!
So glad you liked this recipe. Thank you!
I just made this for the family and loved it!! I only wished that I had cut up the chicken before cooking it. One of my chicken breasts were really big and not cooked enough. The flavor was amazing! I used fresh oregano, basil and parsley. We’ll be saving this for sure
My picky daughter loves this. It’s actually our favorite dish. So flavorful and easy to make.
