Healthy Tuscan Chicken
Looking for some healthy chicken recipes? This is my favorite. It's moist, tender and saucy. I recently lost 30-some pounds, and this is one dish I prepare often. —Carla Wells, Somerset, Kentucky

Loved this. Admittedly we weren't going for healthy, so we used regular broth. Also, used garlic pepper on the chicken before browning, and used a can of diced tomatoes and chiles to pump up the flavor, rather than plain tomatoes. Served with a brown rice/quinoa blend (from an easy-make microwave pouch). Super easy meal that we can't wait to have again.
This was so tasty! We usually stick with beef and tomato flavors but the chicken was really great! I thought the spices were good. The only change I made was adding sliced onion to the peppers. Otherwise, spot on good!!!
The leftovers were as good as the first time around!
Nice change. Could have used a little more flavor though. I salted the chicken.
Quick and easy. Everyone loved it. Only used 1 pepper but it was still plenty (used more for garnish then side dish) and skipped the ham.
This was a great dish. Very easy to make with lots of flavor.
I added a hot pepper and still found this kind of bland. I also used fresh chopped tomatoes and so I had to add salt. Perhaps some olives would have been nice. I used fresh herbs which I added at the end to preserve their flavor.
My husband and I get bored very easily with the same foods and try not to have leftovers because we won't eat them. But this recipe is a repeat keeper. Absolutely delicious!
lives up to its name. tastes and feels very healthy. simple and rather refreshing. would like to try with the fresh herbs next time as i would imagine they would kick up the "healthy" taste.
This recipe is great. I've made it several times now. It is even better left over than the first night. The flavors are great the second time around. To reheat, I heat the chicken and sauce first and then add in the peppers when it is nearly ready. That keeps my peppers from becoming too soggy. I hate that. Also, I didn't have cans of chicken broth when I made this the first time, so I used one of the Knorr Concentrated Chicken Stock tubs and a little water. I think this intensified the chicken flavor. I also made this for a party not too long ago. I just cut the chicken into bite sized pieces and doubled the recipe. Everyone loved it.
