Ready in under 30 minutes, this Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken Pasta is a delicious dinner everyone will love.

If you follow me over on Instagram, you may have seen this dinner being created on my stories a few days ago. It was one of those spur of the moment dinners where I kind of threw a bunch of stuff together and the end result was ah-mazing. I had a ton of messages asking me for the recipe and telling me how good it looked so I knew I needed to make it again for the blog where I could actually take some pictures and write down what I did. Y’all this Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken Pasta is one dinner you definitely need to make asap!

It’s another recipe that’s ready in under 30 minutes so you can whip up a delicious dinner in a jiffy that only looks like you spend hours in the kitchen.

Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken Pasta

Truthfully, I made this Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken Pasta because I was craving a rich, creamy and cheesy pasta dish and was thisclose to heading out to our local Italian restaurants to get take out.

But I had a pack of chicken that I needed to use up and I didn’t want it to go to waste so I headed into my kitchen and grabbed a few things from the fridge. The garlic, the parmesan cheese, chicken and a container of heavy whipping cream I had on hand for a dessert recipe I was planning to make but ended up being better in this Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken Pasta.

I seasoned and cooked the chicken and got to work on the rest.

Once the chicken was done, I removed it from the pan and added in the cream, garlic, some chopped tomatoes and some fresh spinach.

I’m not a big vegetable eater but I do love spinach so I incorporate it into a lot of recipes.

After cooking for a few minutes, I added in the parmesan cheese, cooked pasta and returned the chicken to the pan to let everything cook together for a few more minutes.

Once it was done, I removed it from the heat to allow the sauce to thicken a few more minutes and it was time to eat.

Every bite was mouthwatering. It was seriously one of the best dinners I’ve ever made with everyone in my family going back for seconds.

Remember to hug the ones you love a little tighter Remember to hug the ones you love a little tighter tonight. Tell people what they mean to you. Never take a moment for granted. Tomorrow is never guaranteed. “On this day 19 years ago, 246 people went to sleep in preparation for their morning flights. 2,606 people went to sleep in preparation for work in the morning. 343 firefighters went to sleep in preparation for their next shift. 60 police officers went to sleep in preparation for the morning patrol. 8 paramedics went to sleep in preparation for the morning shift. None of them saw past 10am Sept 11th, 2001. In one single moment life may never be the same. As you live and enjoy the breaths you take tonight before you go sleep in preparation for your life tomorrow, kiss the ones you love, snuggle a little tighter, and never take one second of your life for granted!” 🙏🏼

Have you seen the 2020 @toyotausa Highlander in pe Have you seen the 2020 @toyotausa Highlander in person yet? I had so many questions about this vehicle last week and I think I answered most of you 😂 (don’t worry I have a full blog post coming soon on this beauty) but until then, I thought I’d tell you a few things I loved, and why it’s perfect for road trips!

* First, it’s COMFORTABLE! Seriously one of the most comfortable ones I’ve been in. The power and heated seats were perfect for those chilly NH nights when we went out to eat. Plus the second-row sunshades made it easy for Evie to take a nap on the way up and home.

*Can we talk about all the charging capabilities? The #ToyotaHighlander has FOUR USB ports, a Qi wireless charger and TWO 12 volt outlets so none of us had to worry about a low-battery. Plus we could keep the @nintendo Switches charged for when we needed them.

* Then there’s all the safety features. Toyota Safety Sense is a bundle of safety features that come standard on the #Highlander and made me feel extra safe on the road in this beauty!

Listen, we were sad to see this one go. Stay tuned for the full post on everything we loved! And if you’re out looking for a new car, check this one out!

AD: If this year has taught me anything, it's that AD: If this year has taught me anything, it's that I'm stronger than I think. We all are. Strength comes in many different forms but a strong foundation begins with proper nutrition. @viactiv is a sweet way to make sure your body gets the calcium it needs for strong bones. Just 2 tasty #viactiv chews a day give you 100% of the daily recommended calcium your body needs to keep your bones STRONG. With 30% more calcium, up to 2/3 LESS sugar and half the calories of other gummy supplements, the choice is easy! How has this year made you #CHEWstobestrong (see what I did there)
