Tuscan Chicken

This is the most delicious chicken you can possibly make! Sometimes called "Marry Me Chicken" (because it's that good!), my Tuscan Chicken Recipe uses thin chicken breasts, sun dried tomatoes, spinach, parmesan cheese and a creamy sauce that will have you coming back for seconds and thirds. Serve with pasta, a vegetable or a salad.
