Tuscan Chicken Stew is a quick, creamy white stew filled with succulent pieces of Italian-seasoned chicken, sun dried tomatoes, burst-in-your-mouth cherry tomatoes, plump butter beans and swirls of spinach in a garlicky parmesan sauce. The colours of Italy, in a bowl, on the table in 35 minutes! - Nagi x
PS It's not authentic Italian, but it has Tuscan vibes so I just christened it Tuscan. :) Regardless, it's delicious!
