This one skillet Tuscan chicken is just SO good and satisfying. Plus, it comes together quickly, perfect for those busy weeknights.
As you have probably noticed, I love one-pot and one-skillet recipes. If you haven’t tried these yet, you should check out two of my favorite weeknight meals – One Skillet Tilapia Veracruz and the One Skillet Chicken Puttanesca. They are simple, quick, and easy to make. And of course delicious and healthy! 🙂
I just love when something delicious is also healthy, don’t you? The Cannellini beans are a great addition to this meal and turn this one-skillet Tuscan chicken into a super filling quick meal. If you want to make it paleo, skip the Cannellini beans.

I cannot eat olives or mushrooms, do you think without them it would drastically alter the flavor of the dish?
It will not change the flavor drastically. It won’t be the same but it will still be delicious. Hope you enjoy it!
Excellent mix of so many flavors.
I picked up Chickpeas by mistake, dinner was still fabulous! For me, the sun-dried tomatoes and the olives I added kicked this up to making my rotation.
A wonderful, easy recipe to follow. Full of so much flavor!
Left overs (if you have any) are better the next day!
Tried this recipe this afternoon. OMG! DELICIOUS!!!!!
This was phenomenal!!! The flavors are amazing & it came together quickly. Definitely making this over & over again.
