CREAMY TUSCAN CHICKEN

This recipe is one that comes together quickly, but has such restaurant quality flavor. Not only is it tangy and delicious, it’s also packed with sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach and garlic, which make such a pretty pre-sentation when plated.I like to marinate my chicken in some Italian dressing for a couple of hours before cooking, but that step is completely optional if you’re in a time crunch. The sauce is so flavorful on its own that the marinade isn’t really necessary. If you do choose to marinate the chicken, be sure to pat it dry with paper towels before cooking so you can get that lovely deep color during the searing pro-cess.This dish on its own is low in carbs if you’re fol-lowing that type of eating plan. Zucchini noodles or a fresh salad would be lovely lower carb options on the side. When serv-ing it to my family I like to pair it with some wild rice pilaf and green beans, but angel hair pasta would also be delicious topped with this creamy sauce!
