Is there a particular recipe for the Tuscan chicken? I looked back over the thread and couldn't find it.
I don't think there's a particular recipe knocking about, but I put one together from a few I'd read online:
Ingredients:
- 4 chicken breasts, cubed
- 250ml single cream
- Chicken stock (I use 1 cube of kallo in 200ml boiling water)
- ~6 cloves of garlic, minced
- ~50g grated parmesan cheese (or other similar cheese)
- Spinach
- Sundried tomatoes
- ~1-2tsp dried oregano
- Pasta to serve
Method:
- Fry the chicken in a pan
- In a pot, add the cream, stock, garlic, oregano and cheese. Heat and whisk until the cheese melts and the sauce starts to thicken.
- Add the fried chicken and sundried tomatoes to the pot.
- Separately, boil pasta.
- Just before the pasta is done, add the spinach to the pot of sauce.
- Serve and enjoy!
That's enough for 2 of us for 2 days. If you are having it over 2 days though, I divide the sauce in half before adding the spinach to one half. Then I add the spinach fresh to the second half the next day.
You can use as much or as little Spinach or sundried tomato as you like. A 90g bag of spinach will do us for 4 meals, but I've used bigger bags sometimes too (cause sure it all just wilts into nothing anyway!). I get a small jar of sundried tomatoes in Tesco and wouldn't use it all, maybe half or two thirds, but it just depends on your own tastes. I also chop the sundried tomatoes into smaller pieces before using them.
I got the idea off someone here and they had it with mashed potatoes. So I tried it with mashed potatoes a couple of times - while it was delicious, it was just too rich for my tummy! I find pasta works much better.
I think some people have mentioned a slow cooker recipe for it too, so they might be able to help you out there

We have decided we would like to do more meat free dinners here, at least 1 a week, preferably 2, but all our usual dinners have typically revolved around meat.
Grateful for any veggie recipes in your regular meal plan. The ravioli on your plan this week is meat free, will try the halloumi and mushroom kebabs from The Cooking Club soon also. We do normally do gnocchi with mozzarella and basil regularly too.
This is a staple in our house, a squash and coconut curry. It's a very simple curry, quick to prepare and minimal ingredients. And it's very tasty too
