This Creamy Tuscan Chicken Pasta Recipe combines golden brown chicken breast pieces, fresh baby spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and fettuccine pasta in a rich creamy garlic Parmesan Cheese sauce with Italian seasonings. Comfort food does not get much easier or more delicious than this.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This Tuscan chicken is restaurant-quality and divine. The creamy, flavorful sauce pairs well with the tangy sun-dried tomatoes. Fettuccine pasta soaks up all the goodness of the creamy sauce. Bits of sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, and juicy chicken are in each bite. Pair this with a nice green salad and garlic bread for a fancy, but easy, dinner.
