Recipe Notes
Creamy Garlic Tuscan Chicken Storage Instructions
Place it in the fridge for up to 3 days, stored in an airtight container. Due to it being a cream-based sauce, it’s not recommended to freeze it as upon reheating, the cream will potentially split. If frozen, do so for no longer than 1 month, stored in an airtight container. Thaw in the fridge overnight before reheating.
Creamy Garlic Tuscan Chicken Reheating Instructions
To reheat, place it into a pan over medium-high heat and gently mix to combine and heat throughout, ensuring the chicken is hot in the centre. Adding a splash of fresh cream is recommended, which will help prevent the sauce from splitting. Don’t microwave, as the harsh heat will cause it to split.

Hi, Jack
I made this recipe 4 dinner 2night. It was absolutely beautiful! However, i would like the sauce to be a bit thicker. To achieve this, should i cook the sauce longer b4 or after ive added the chicken?
Thanks.
Hi, Leslie. So glad you enjoyed it. Yes, the best way to achieve a thicker sauce is to reduce the sauce for longer, then add the chicken back in right at the end.
I don’t usually take the time to make a recipe like this during the work week but I was motivated to give it a try. I did have a huge complaint from the family, though – I didn’t make enough of it! I was hoping for leftovers but there was nothing but empty dishes at the end of the meal. I can’t wait to try some of the other recipes that look equally as good.
I really do appreciate hearing this. Haha, I was worried when I first read this but that’s awesome. Glad you all enjoyed it.
Sir, the Tuscan chicken recipe is the best! My wife does not cook so as a male Im always looking for tasty but simple recipes to make. This Tuscan Chicken is perfect. Thank you very much.
kind Regards, TB
Thank you very much! Great to hear you enjoyed it. This is great to hear!
Hi Jack,
I have now done this three times and it is now my favourite chicken recipe. Doing again this Sunday for some of my family one of whom is 1/4 Italian!. You definitely need to get everything organised and near at hand before you start cooking.
I made too much sauce last time and have frozen it-I will try to use it when there is only my wife and I in case it doesn’t work out.
Hi Ray. Great to hear you’ve been enjoying it and hope your friends do too. Thank you
Omg!!!! Delicious! Fabulous with rice or I just cooked up some lovely pasta to make it a pasta meal with some added veggies as there is so much sauce. Outstanding recipe.
I have been trying to copy a pasta recipe with sauce like this and chicken from a local restaurant and as I tasted the sauce, I realized this is it
Hey Sandy. Ever so sorry for the late response. I am happy you enjoyed this dish. Thank you for the kind words

Probably the best meal I’ve made to date. Makes it to our table at least once every week. Now my fiancé calls me little Tuscan boy, a title I wear with honor. 11/10.
Wow! That’s awesome to hear. Glad you’ve been enjoying it. Haha great nickname 😉
