Recipe Intro From chasingxcravings
Tuscan Chicken Sandwich 🥪This is my quick and simple version of Tuscan Chicken. It’s a versatile dish that can be served as a sandwich or over egg noodles, rice or pasta. I personally love to dip crusty bread into the creamy sauce. My one regret - the single row of pancetta. Should’ve added more 😕Enjoy 💛
