Note

Tips for the Best Tuscan Creamy Chicken:

  • For an extra rich sauce, stir in a little extra parmesan or a splash of heavy cream before serving.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, remove the chicken and let the sauce simmer with the lid off for a few minutes to reduce.
  • Try adding mushrooms or roasted bell peppers for an extra flavor boost.
