A seriously tasty dinner recipe idea, one pan Tuscan Chicken!
When you need a bit of comfort food, and who doesn’t, this Tuscan chicken recipe is definitely one dinner idea to try. It’s easy to make, and for an added bonus, you only dirty up one pan to make it!
This chicken recipe is a regular favorite at our dinner table, which when you have picky eaters as I do, it’s more like finding that pot of gold at the end of a rainbow when those previously referred to picky eaters actually eat and then ask for seconds.
What else can I substitute for white wine in this recipe?
I do enjoy using white wine in this recipe for the sauce, but if you prefer you can substitute it for chicken or vegetable broth, or even water, just be mindful of seasoning to taste. Just remember that if you are using water, you will need to boost up the seasoning but still go easy on adding too much at a time. It’s easier to add a little seasoning at a time, than to take it away.
Can this Tuscan chicken recipe be made dairy-free?
This recipe is so flexible, that if you are dairy-free, simply leave the cream and Parmesan cheese out. Check the seasoning, and adjust if needed with the salt and pepper, oregano, and garlic powder a little at a time.
What is a good spinach substitute?
Not a fan of spinach or simply don’t have any on hand? You can use other greens such as kale, collard greens, or try using zucchini ribbons or rounds in this Tuscan chicken recipe or others that call for spinach.
