Tuscan Chicken
With the cooler evening temperatures that are beginning to take place with the welcoming of Fall, comfort food is something that we all crave. Tuscan Chicken is typically served over pasta. I serve over cauliflower rice keeping it a low carb high protein dish, while still being able to fulfill those comfort food cravings.
