Notes

How to store and reheat
Store any leftover Tuscan Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for 3-4 days. To reheat it, place it in a pan on the stovetop to warm over medium heat. You can add a little more butter or heavy cream to get the sauce to the consistency you want.
