Tuscan Chicken made with Journey Spice Co. Organic Tuscan Seasoning

Tuscan Chicken

There’s Tuscan Chicken, and then there’s Tuscan Chicken made with Journey Spice Co.’s Organic Tuscan Seasoning! What we love about this recipe is how our Organic Tuscan Seasoning adds a depth of flavor to this traditional Italian-American recipe that we found lacking when we made Tuscan Chicken in the past using a basic Italian seasoning blend. Although Tuscan Chicken recipes generally call for sun-dried tomatoes, our Organic Tuscan Seasoning seemed to amplify the tangy umami flavor even more because it includes sun-dried tomato pieces and powder in the blend, plus other savory herbs and spices that add an extra flavor punch. Enjoy!

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 20-25 minutes

Ingredients:

2 Tbsp. Journey Spice Co. Organic Tuscan Seasoning

4 garlic cloves, minced

1/2 cup yellow onion, minced

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes, thinly sliced

1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Make it leaner: Substitute the heavy cream for lower-calorie dairy options like skim milk and/or plain yogurt and reduce the cheese. Serve it with steamed vegetables or lentils instead of pasta to reduce carbs.

Make it Plant-Based/Vegan: Use plant-based versions of the chicken and other ingredients.
