Creamy Tuscan Chicken Stew With Artichokes & Sundried Tomatoes

Tuscan food was created based on the Italian idea of poor cooking or “cucina povera.”

Tuscan cooking doesn’t use complicated ingredients or elaborate creations, but rather uses fresh ingredients that bring out the natural flavors in each dish.

Chicken thighs are browned and simmered in a creamy butter garlic sauce that includes chicken broth and white wine along with sun-dried tomatoes and artichokes.

The dish is finished off with parmesan cheese and spinach for the ultimate Italian chicken stew.

It is really amazing how this Tuscan dish boasts 4 uniquely wonderful flavors, that come together to make every bite so deliciously satisfying.

One ingredient doesn’t over power the other, they meld so perfectly well together.
