I really hate it when I feel people write recipes slapdash without double and even triple checking their work. I made this last night. First, I had printed off the recipe a few days ago. It said in the ingredient list "3 TBS" of olive oil. Later, in the instructions, it said to add the butter. There had been no butter listed. I checked other recipes and saw that most were 2 TBS. olive oil and 1 TBS. butter. Now I see that it has been corrected. As another poster pointed out, also incorrect is the chicken stock, an ittem NOT listed in the ingredients. Suddenly, it just says to add it, with no amounts listed. Again, I looked up other recipes and guessed it should be 1/2 cup. It did work. Just makes me angry to have to stop cooking to go in and try to find the amounts somewhere else. Busy people don't have time for that and the writer needs to keep in mind that people are investing their time and their money to have the recipe not turn out. Ina Garten checks and rechecks her recipes and you never find any that are inaccurate. Take a page from her book.

Mmmmmm what a yummy looking Tuscan chicken recipe. I am definitely making this for myself. I love spinach so adding that to any dish, for me is a plus. We are heading for winter here in South Africa and I am going to be making plenty of 'comfort' meals like this.

Your video shows you add chicken broth but yet in your recipe it does not mention chicken broth at all or how much to use. Is this recipe incomplete? It sure looks good.

This is really easy to make. You could make this in under an hour. Sun dried tomatoes pack a really good flavor punch. I don't like cooked spinach on it's own, but is great in chicken dishes. This is a dish that the whole family would love. A whole pound of pasta for four people is a lot of pasta so I cut down on that.

OHH this tuscan chicken looks so good! Although if I make this at home, I'll also need to make Olive Garden breadsticks. You can't have an Olive Garden dinner without the breadsticks!!
