Tuscan Grilled Chicken Pasta

This Tuscan chicken pasta is fast and easy,  smothered in an amazingly creamy sauce.

This Tuscan chicken pasta is so flavorful, tender chicken in a creamy sauce with roasted tomatoes, garlic, and spinach. You'll want to make it again and again!

We love pasta in our house and we make it a lot like my Cajun Chicken Pasta. Such an easy way to mix meat and veggies into one pot. This is an easy recipe you can make any night of the week.

I have a fantastic garlic roasted tomato recipe that I use for this recipe. But you could also use a jar of sun-dried tomatoes.

This Tuscan chicken pasta recipe is a meal worthy of entertaining, or a quick weeknight meal that comes together in 30 minutes.

If you don't have half and half you can use 1 cup milk and 1 cup heavy cream.
