I’ve been to Tuscany twice. Once with my husband and son and a second time with my brother and sisters and in laws. I fell in love and can’t wait to go back. I even have fantasies about retiring there some day. This easy Tuscan chicken recipe was inspired by those memories of Tuscany. It is a SUPER quick and easy dinner that you can literally throw together in a little over 30 minutes. Not only will your family be impressed, but they will be asking you to make it again. At least my hubby always does. 😉

I bought most of the ingredients at Aldi (roasted peppers, artichoke salad, chicken thighs and feta cheese) and had two ingredients leftover from the gigantic Costco jars I’ve purchased previously (sun dried tomatoes and capers). It’s very hard to eat that many capers… and I like capers. I think it cost less than $15 and that’s including a package of  Trader Joe’s pappardelle pasta and it will easily feed 4 people.

I use chicken thighs in this recipe but you could use chicken breasts. Try to use chicken with the bone in as that keeps it moist and juicy. You just  brown the chicken in a little olive oil, add the artichoke salad, roasted peppers, capers and sundried tomatoes. Cover and cook for 30 minutes. At the end you can add some crumbled feta cheese but you don’t have to.

    Hmm…I can see why you would make this over and over again. Not only is it quick, but it looks delish. That chicken looks like it falls apart!
