I love easy pasta meals, some of my family’s favorites include lemon asparagus pasta, chicken parmesan pasta and this simple yet satisfying Tuscan chicken pasta.
Pasta – it’s what’s for dinner A LOT around here. I love to make pasta dishes that incorporate meat, veggies and noodles because it’s a complete meal without a ton of work. I recently tried out this Tuscan chicken pasta recipe, which was a hit with both the kids and adults alike!
How do you make Tuscan chicken pasta?
This Tuscan chicken pasta is a mixture of chicken, mushrooms, kale and tomatoes, all sauteed and served over creamy pasta. I use cut up chicken breast, although thighs would also work. I prefer to add the tomatoes at the very end so that they’re just lightly cooked and still fresh tasting. While I used Tuscan (also known as dinosaur) kale here, regular curly kale also works great. You could even swap out the veggies for others that you have on hand, zucchini would be a great addition.
This Tuscan chicken pasta is a cinch to put together – while the pasta is boiling, cook up your chicken and veggies. The pasta gets a simple sauce, the chicken mixture goes on top, and done! Looking at these photos right now, I realize that parmesan cheese would be an awesome finishing touch to this dish – so try it that way and report back please! Still hungry?
