Notes
- Make Ahead
- Fully make creamy tuscan chicken as instructed, except don't add the Parmesan cheese. Cool and transfer dish to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator.
- Best Way to Reheat
- Pour sauce into a skillet and gently simmer over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. Stir Parmesan into sauce and continue to simmer until sauce slightly thickens, about 2 minutes. Nestle chicken breasts into the simmering sauce and continue to simmer for 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken has warmed through.
