RECIPE TIPS AND INGREDIENT SWAPS
Make it vegetarian – if I make a veggie version of this I use frozen vegetarian chicken pieces or chunkily chopped mushrooms.
Use different seasoning – I love the Italian vibe of this recipe.. but time is short and I like things that are easy, so if I want a different flavour, I make the same recipe with Cajun seasoning and serve with mashed sweet potatoes or ping a few packets of flavoured rice in the microwave.
WHAT TO SERVE WITH CREAMY TUSCAN CHICKEN
Okay, so when I make this at home it’s usually a quick and easy dinner after work, so sides tend to be air fryer fries, or quick mashed potatoes (cut the potatoes really small so they boil and cook fast)
LOVE YOUR LEFTOVERS
