I like this chicken served over a bed of freshly cooked fettuccine, with a glass of chilled Pinot Grigio.
Serves 4.

Ingredients
| 4 | Chicken breasts – fresh, boneless, skinless, trimmed and cut in 2″ – 3″ pieces |
| 1/2 Cup | Flour |
| 2 tsp | Tuscan Herb Blend |
| To taste | Salt – preferably fleur de sel |
| To taste | Pepper – freshly ground |
| 3 Tbsp | Roasted Garlic Olive Oil |
| 1/2 Cup | Onion – cooking, diced |
| 1 whole | Red pepper – fresh, sliced into 1/4″ strips |
| 1 tsp | Flour |
| 1 1/2 Cups | Cream – 10% |
| 1/2 Cup | White wine |
| 1 Tbsp | Tuscan Herb Blend |
| To taste | Salt – preferably fleur de sel |
| To taste | Pepper – freshly ground |
| 4-6 Cups | Baby spinach – washed and cleaned |
Instructions
1. Cut each chicken breast into 3 or 4 large pieces. Mix the flour (1/2 cup), Tuscan Herb Blend, salt and pepper together. Dredge the chicken pieces through the flour mixture so they are evenly coated.
2. In a large sauce pan, on medium high heat, heat the Roasted Garlic Olive Oil. Place the chicken in the pan and sear for 5 minutes, turning often. The chicken should be golden brown on the outside and uncooked on the inside. Remove to a bowl and set aside until step 3.
3. Add the onions and red peppers. Cook on medium high heat, stirring constantly for approximately 2 minutes, or until the onions are golden and the red peppers are slightly softened. Stir in the additional 1 teaspoon of flour and allow to cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the cream. Allow the sauce to simmer until it thickens to coat the back of a spoon. Add the white wine and Tuscan Herb Blend, salt and pepper. Simmer for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce thickens to coat the back of a spoon. Add the chicken pieces. Bring to a quick boil and then reduce the heat to medium low and cover the pan. Simmer for 10-15 minutes turning the chicken occasionally. Increase the heat to medium high and stir in the baby spinach. Cover and simmer until the spinach just wilts. Remove the pan from the heat. Serve immediately … as a one dish meal …on a bed of your favourite pasta.
