My Tuscan chicken and shrimp recipe creates a hearty dish that combines the richness of creamy sauce with the freshness of tomatoes, spinach, and herbs. Tender chicken thighs and succulent shrimp are seasoned with Italian herbs and cooked to perfection. Add a rich and creamy sauce made from heavy cream, cheese, and garlic, which is infused with the tanginess of tomatoes and you're good to go. This recipe creates a wonderful blend of flavors that will transport you to the sunny hills of Tuscany with every bite! I have fallen in love with how good and easy it is to make!
