Creamy Tuscan Chicken and Gluten Free Pasta

This right here is comfort food! In our Italian house, there's nothing better than pasta night. And what's even better? Pasta smothered in a flavorful creamy garlic sauce! 

There is just something so indulgent and satisying about a cream sauce. This recipe is made with an unsweetened plant-based milk to make it dairy-free. We love to use Silk Unsweetened Protein Nut Milk for cooking since it has a great neutral flavor and is super creamy. Add in fresh minced garlic, italian seasoning, sun-dried tomatoes & spinach. Believe me, this sauce is bursting with flavor!

All you have to do is saute the chicken, add in the pasta and sauce ingredients, let it simmer while the flavors come together, then it's ready to serve!

The Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken is perfectly paired with pasta(and garlic bread!)

This recipe takes only 30 minutes and is a great family-friendly weeknight dinner that tastes restaurant quality.
