• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 cup spinach
• 2 ounces cream cheese

INGREDIENT NOTES:

PARMESAN CHEESE:

• Parmesan cheese aids in thickening the creamy Tuscan sauce. You can use asiago, nutritional yeast, grana padano, or pecorino romano instead.

HEAVY CREAM:

• This cream creates the velvety and rich texture of the sauce. We can alternate it with half the quantity of heavy cream with butter, high-fat coconut cream, or mascarpone cheese.

ITALIAN SEASONING:

• Italian seasoning is used to deliver a natural Tuscan flavor. You can replace it with herbs de Provence, a homemade mix, or fresh chopped herbs.

CHICKEN BREASTS:

• Chicken breasts soak the creamy sauce properly in a crockpot. We may swap them with turkey breast chunks or chicken thighs.

CREAM CHEESE:

• Cream cheese is utilized to give a rich and smooth texture. You may utilize coconut cream, ricotta, or mascarpone cheese as a replacement.

SUN-DRIED TOMATOES:

• The creamy base is balanced by sun-dried tomatoes. They also provide a strong, tart flavor. Instead, we can use tomato paste, red peppers, or cherry tomatoes.
