We often serve this over pasta to make it into a delicious meal. You guys are going to love the flavors and versatility of this creamy chicken just as much as we do\\!\n\n- **Serve it with Pasta:** You can serve this chicken with so many things! Try your favorite pasta, [Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes](https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/instant-pot-mashed-potatoes\/) or [Air Fryer Cauliflower](https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/air-fryer-cauliflower\/)\n- Add Veggies: Freshly steamed veggies or a light salad are great sides to add freshness to the meal.\n- **Protein:** Swap out the chicken for [salmon](https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/creamy-tuscan-garlic-salmon\/) or [shrimp](https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/creamy-tuscan-garlic-shrimp\/). The sweet garlic cream sauce will pair perfectly with these meats as well and give you some variety in your proteins.\n- **How to know when the chicken is done:** To ensure your chicken is cooked throughout, look for the juices to run clear. Also, keep in mind chicken must be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. So, use a meat thermometer to be sure you have perfectly cooked chicken.\n- **Use Fresh Cheese (From a Block):** For the most creamy sauce, be sure you’re using freshly grated parmesan cheese. Pre-shredded cheeses are coated with preservatives that keep them from melting completely and will result in grainy sauce.\n- **Room Temperature Chicken:** Make sure your creamy tuscan garlic chicken is at room temperature before cooking. It will cook more evenly than if it is still cold. Also, dry it completely and season it with salt as it cooks in the oil coated pan.\n\n![Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken over noodles in a white bowl with a metal spoon. ](https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/creamytuscangarlic5-650x975.jpg)\n\n### Storing Leftovers\nWe rarely have leftovers of this Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken because my kids lick their plates clean!

We often serve this over pasta to make it into a delicious meal. You guys are going to love the flavors and versatility of this creamy chicken just as much as we do\! - Serve it with Pasta: You can serve this chicken with so many things! Try your favorite pasta, [Instant Pot Mashed Potatoes](https://therecipecritic.com/instant-pot-mashed-potatoes/) or [Air Fryer Cauliflower](https://therecipecritic.com/air-fryer-cauliflower/) - Add Veggies: Freshly steamed veggies or a light salad are great sides to add freshness to the meal. - Protein: Swap out the chicken for [salmon](https://therecipecritic.com/creamy-tuscan-garlic-salmon/) or [shrimp](https://therecipecritic.com/creamy-tuscan-garlic-shrimp/). The sweet garlic cream sauce will pair perfectly with these meats as well and give you some variety in your proteins. - How to know when the chicken is done: To ensure your chicken is cooked throughout, look for the juices to run clear. Also, keep in mind chicken must be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees. So, use a meat thermometer to be sure you have perfectly cooked chicken. - Use Fresh Cheese (From a Block): For the most creamy sauce, be sure you’re using freshly grated parmesan cheese. Pre-shredded cheeses are coated with preservatives that keep them from melting completely and will result in grainy sauce. - Room Temperature Chicken: Make sure your creamy tuscan garlic chicken is at room temperature before cooking. It will cook more evenly than if it is still cold.
