Tuscan Chicken

Tuscan Chicken with spinach, white beans, and an amazing tomato sauce. Hearty, delicious, and incredibly easy to make, it’s a guaranteed to be a dinner favorite! 

If you want a quick and easy weeknight dinner that’s guaranteed to be a family favorite, this Tuscan chicken packs a lot of flavor without a lot of work. Chock full of juicy bone-in chicken, white beans, spinach, and an amazing tomato sauce, it’s hearty and tasty!

The magic starts by browning the chicken pieces with bacon for a smoky layer of flavor and simmering the nicely seared meat in tomatoes and white wine for a rich tomato gravy. It is then finished off with white beans, fresh spinach, and Parmesan cheese for the perfect stew!

I used bone-in chicken for maximum flavor and juiciness but feel free to swap with diced boneless chicken breast or thigh meat. I love sopping up the tasty tomato sauce with thick chunks of bread but this Tuscan chicken stew is also amazing served with rice or pasta.
