Helpful Tips to make Tuscan Garlic Chicken and Linguine:
- Covering your pot while bringing it to a boil will cut your cooking time. Be sure not to leave it unattended, or you may have a boil-over to clean up.
- If you are sensitive to alcohol, you can substitute the Chardonnay for chicken stock.
What you will need to make Tuscan Garlic Chicken and Linguine:
- A large skillet with a lid – to help the pasta cook evenly, a wide skillet works best, ideally one that’s more than 12 inches in diameter.
- Mesh Strainer – Normally you don’t need to drain the grease when cooking with lean ground beef, but if you do, a mesh strainer will help ensure you don’t lose any of the cooked meat.
- Heat resistant spoon or spatula – Ideal for cooking, stirring, and serving.
Enjoy!
With love from our simple kitchen to yours.

Tuscan Garlic Chicken and Linguine + Video
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for pasta water
- 1 pound linguine pasta, uncooked
- 3 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded and cut into thin strips
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 cup Chardonnay
- 2 teaspoons Italian Seasoning Blend
- 2 cups half-and-half
- 1 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
- 5 ounces fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh Italian parsley
Instructions
- Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add a small handful of salt and the linguine and cook until it’s al dente (has a bite to it). Drain the pasta and reserve 2 cups of the pasta water.
- Meanwhile, warm a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat. Once you can feel the heat when you hold your hand 6 inches above the skillet, add the oil. Season both sides of the chicken with the salt and pepper. Add the chicken to the skillet. Cook the chicken until it’s a deep golden brown and completely cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes on each side. Remove the chicken and place it on a plate.
- Add the garlic, bell peppers and red pepper flakes to the skillet and cook until the peppers are crisp-tender, about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the wine and seasoning blend to the skillet and scrape the browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring the wine to a boil for 2 minutes. Add the half-and-half and the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the cheese melts into the sauce, about 1 minute. Add the reserved pasta water, a ladleful at a time, to thin the sauce if necessary. Sprinkle in the spinach and add the pasta.
- Twirl the pasta and spinach into the sauce with tongs. Top with the cooked chicken. Sprinkle with the parsley.

Your Baked Potato Soup is devine! Definitely a family favorite!
We LOVE the slow cooker three cheese Mac n cheese. This recipe works just as easily on the stovetop if you have a large crowd that won t fit in your cooker. Just cook t pasta separately, ready in minutes. Thanks for all the great recipes. [email protected]
My favorite slow cooker recipe is Chipotle Sweet Pulled Pork. It can be eaten in a sandwich, a quesadilla or in a taco.
I like the sugar cookie french toast casserole the most.
My favorite slow cooker recipe remains chili — especially with black beans!
My favorite slow cooker recipe of this blog is your crockpot pulled pork sandwiches, its amazing and a family favorite! My email is [email protected]
For the longest time I did not like my slow cooker and I've had a few over the years. Finally, I received a Cuisinart slow cooker and LOVE it. So it's still a whole new world to me, since I rarely used my other ones. One super easy recipe I've been making a lot (for my picky, elderly parents) is: 1 chuck steak, 1 onion, 1 bell pepper, fresh garlic, 2 cups water. I season the steak with a Cajun seasoning and then brown it in the slow cooker on the brown/saute setting. Then I add all the other ingredients and cook on high until it starts bubbling, then reduce it to low for a total of 6 hours. I serve it over rice.
My favorite is Homemade Chicken and dumplings!Good ol'comortgage food! My email is [email protected].
It's so hard to pick a favorite. I absolutely loved the Slow Cooker Taco Soup. It was good as a soup and also when I wanted something different, I mixed it in with some rice and melted cheese on top. Wonderful.
This is a great recipe and tastes wonderful but… it took me an hour and a half. Lol
What is in the Italian seasoning blend??
This was a phenomenal chicken recipe! I would eat the chicken on it’s own as well as with the linguine!
Basil,oregano,marjoram,sage & garlic.
Could I omit the Parmesan?
