As I was browsing Pinterest this past weekend looking for some recipes for the week’s meal plan, I came across this recipe for Italian Chicken. Now, if you search Pinterest with the words, “Italian Chicken” many different recipes have come up a lot of which I have made in the past. However, this recipe which I am going to share with you today is the best Italian Chicken I have ever had!
The recipe I’m going to share with you today is adapted from the one I found on Pinterest, but I changed it up a bit because I am not a fan of artichokes and neither is my husband. Instead, I decided to use spinach in place of the artichokes which I feel was a perfect replacement!
The spaghetti is buttered with salt, pepper, and garlic and when joined with the tomatoes makes a perfect ensemble. My husband is not a fan of spinach or tomatoes for that matter and he cleaned his plate in a matter of minutes. This recipe is definitely going to be a new favorite in our house for many years to come.
