If you are looking for an easy way out of making sauce, Kroger also has sauces that you can purchase, if you don’t want to make your own.

Tips on how to make Tuscan Garlic Chicken:
This chicken is crunchy perfection, with a delicious gravy-like sauce to go on top. It is smothered in red bell pepper and spinach bits, that add the perfect flavor combo.
-The most critical step in making this chicken crispy, is placing it in heated olive oil, before placing it in the oven to cook.
If you don’t have olive oil, you could also use avocado oil or vegetable oil, but we prefer the taste of olive oil.
-The second step, is just letting the oil brown each side. You don’t want to cook the entire breast in the oil, you will want to bake it as well, to give it that extra oven baked crispiness.
-The sauce is a simple mixture of red pepper bits, garlic, cornstarch, chicken broth, heavy cream, milk, and spinach.
-When you are cooking the spinach, be sure to add it last, or later on in the recipe. Spinach shrinks and shrivels up quickly when heated, so be sure to watch it, and not overcook it.
Don’t be afraid to add large handfuls of spinach to the mixture either. They will shrivel up and shrink to about 1/4 of their size.
Would this recipe work with other noodles?
You could use any noodle for this recipe. I prefer the fettuccine noodles, but you could use macaroni, bowtie, spaghetti, rigatoni, etc. I also like to use wheat noodles for the health benefits.
Any noodles you have on hand will definitely work for this recipes.

- Cook the garlic and diced red pepper for about 3 minutes. Stir in 1 tablespoon of corn starch and stir constantly for one minute.
- Add the chicken broth and bring to a light simmer while whisking constantly until it is starting to thicken. This takes about 3-4 minutes.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and the rest of the cornstarch. Add the spinach, and milk to the skillet. Bring this to a simmer and continue to cook until spinach starts to soften and go a dark green color. Stir in the cheese.
