What is creamy Tuscan chicken?
Interestingly enough this creamy Tuscan chicken is not a traditional Tuscan recipe from Italy! Then why is it called Tuscan chicken? Fair question!
Upon reading more about this quirky recipe, I finally deduced that this creamy Tuscan chicken is a modern Italian-American dish, most likely developed in the United States!
The name βTuscanβ chicken comes from the ingredients commonly associated with Tuscan-style cooking e.g. olive oil, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, leafy greens like fresh spinach & basil and Parmesan.
However, authentic Tuscan cuisine is usually lighter and not cream-based. The creamy version is more of an Italian-American or modern comfort-food creation.
But calling it βTuscanβ chicken instantly evokes certain emotions within the food lovers and we all know how crucial the role of emotion is when it comes to food!
The warmth, countryside charm and Italian comfort, the qualities that foodies already loved, get instantly packed into that name inviting more and more food enthusiasts to try it and fall for it!
