Top 9-Free Tuscan Sun-Dried Tomato Chicken

Tuscan chicken dinner.

This one-pan Tuscan chicken dinner has protein, veggies, savory sun-dried tomatoes, and a creamy dairy-free sauce. The sauce keeps the chicken moist and tender, and the mushrooms and sun-dried tomatoes add a generous amount of flavor and texture to the dish.

When preparing my Tuscan chicken, I recommend using dehydrated sun-dried tomatoes, typically found in the spice or condiment aisle. I use these as opposed to the sun-dried tomatoes that are packed in oil and found in the olive aisle. Dehydrated sun-dried tomatoes tend to be less expensive. And a bonus for those of us with multiple food allergies: they contain fewer ingredients than those jarred with oil and spices.

The recipe is excerpted from my cookbook, called The Easy Allergy-Free Cookbook. I know well how busy life gets, and how having food allergies can make mealtime feel like a challenge.

That’s why in this book, I’ve created 85 recipes that are fuss-free and eliminate allergens, without skimping on nutrition or flavor. I include allergen-free dishes for every meal, with variations on beloved classics along with creative new favorites like a Quinoa Cobb Skillet or this must-try Tuscan Chicken.
