One Skillet Tuscan Chicken

Have you had a day where your list of errands seemed to never end and then when you get home, you realize you didn’t go to the one place you really needed to go? The grocery store.  Yep.  It happens to me often and as a food blogger, you would think it wouldn’t.  My mind has so much on it with remembering what paper to write for what class, when the next tests are for those same classes, and trying to keep my family’s schedule on point.  I have a planner that I do complete with all that I must do but just like that grocery list it doesn’t always make it with me everywhere I need to be.  Anyway, now I had to figure out what to make for dinner that would be quick so that we could be finished with dinner and all sit down together to watch our 8:00pm show. We tend to eat a later dinner since I have classes and some nights my husband rides with his biking group.

Scouring the pantry and the refrigerator, I started to grab items and set out to make dinner.  I had remembered a meal I had in a restaurant that I really enjoyed and had all that went into it on hand.  Tuscan Chicken is a quick one pan dish.  You can eat it as is if you prefer no additional vegetables or another side.  I served it over roasted asparagus but you can easily serve it over white rice.  It totally went over great! Prep time is minimal and cook time is under 30 minutes!  Dishes are a snap as well.  My kind of simple and delicious meal.
