Tuscan Chicken Pasta



This recipe for Tuscan chicken pasta is creamy pasta topped with seared chicken, tomatoes, kale and mushrooms. An easy and hearty dinner that’s ready in no time!

Pasta – it’s what’s for dinner A LOT around here. I love to make pasta dishes that incorporate meat, veggies and noodles because it’s a complete meal without a ton of work. I recently tried out this Tuscan chicken pasta recipe, which was a hit with both the kids and adults alike!


This Tuscan chicken pasta is a mixture of chicken, mushrooms, kale and tomatoes, all sauteed and served over creamy pasta. I use cut up chicken breast, although thighs would also work. I prefer to add the tomatoes at the very end so that they’re just lightly cooked and still fresh tasting. While I used Tuscan (also known as dinosaur) kale here, regular curly kale also works great. You could even swap out the veggies for others that you have on hand, zucchini would be a great addition.
