**Ingredients**
* 2 large skinless boneless chicken breasts pounded to 1-inch thickness (or 4 boneless and skinless chicken thigh fillets)
* Salt and pepper, to season
* 1/2 teaspoon paprika (sweet or smokey)
* 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley
* 1 tablespoon oil, divided (use olive or canola oil)
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 1 small yellow onion chopped
* 6 cloves garlic finely diced
* 1/3 cup white wine OPTIONAL (use chicken broth instead if you wish)
* 9 oz (250g) jarred sun dried tomato strips in oil (reserve 2 tablespoons of oil and drain the rest)
* 3 level tablespoons flour
* 2 cups chicken broth
* 3 cups milk OR light cream* or half and half, divided
* 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs
* 10 ounces (300g) elbow macaroni uncooked (3 cups!)
* 3 cups baby spinach leaves
* 1 cup fresh grated Parmesan cheese
* 3/4 cup mozzarella cheese shredded
* 1/2 cup grated cheese Cheddar or Gruyere
* 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
Instructions
1. Season chicken with salt, pepper, paprika, dried parsley and 2 teaspoons of the oil. Heat the remaining oil in a large (30cm or 12-inch) pot or pan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and sear on both sides until golden brown, cooked through and no longer pink in the middle. Transfer chicken to a warm plate, tent with foil and set aside.
1. To the same pan, add the butter and fry the onion and garlic until the onion becomes transparent, stirring occasionally (about 2 minutes). Pour in the white wine and allow to simmer for 5 minutes, or until beginning to reduce down.
1. Add the sun dried tomatoes with 2 tablespoons of the sun dried tomato oil from the jar and cook for 1-2 minutes to release as much flavour as possible.
1. Stir the flour into the pot and allow to cook for a further minute. Then, add the broth, 2 1/2 cups of milks (or cream/half and half), herbs, salt and pepper, and bring to a very low simmer (lower the heat if you need to).
1. Add the dry macaroni and stir occasionally as it comes to a simmer. Reduce heat down to medium low and stir regularly while it cooks (for about 9 – 10 minutes), or until the sauce thickens and the macaroni is just cooked (al dente: tender but still firm). Add the spinach and stir through until wilted.
1. Take the pot off the stove and stir all of the cheese in quickly. Adjust salt and pepper to taste. If the sauce it too thick, add the remaining 1/2 cup milk (or cream) in 1/4 cup increments, until reaching desired thickness. Keep in mind the sauce will continue to thicken as it cools.
1. Slice the chicken into strips and stir through the pasta (pour in any juices left from the chicken). Sprinkle with parsley, and stir through. Serve immediately!

MammasShoes: This looks so good! I could feel the taste in my mouth while watching. There’s nothing I love more than cheese and sun-dried tomatoes 🙂
User9113: This Mac and cheese is missing a critical ingredient
Jestersrace: „Tuscan“… adds „italian herbs“ and cooks pasta in milk. 🙁
chromaspectrum: I will have to try this soon, looks very good!
Allyfromdublin: Why do we need pasta dishes to be ‘one pot dishes’?? Its just pasta in a pot with water and salt! No spitting oil! Clean up is easy! Whhhyy
darn_me: Since I live in Tuscany, I’m going to show this recipe to all the people in the lab to make them laugh.
ICWhatsNUrP: I’ve made this before and it is fantastic. It also feeds a small army, so keep in mind you will have leftovers.
Mr_Assault_08: Sweet
_That_One_Fellow_: I own no spices or sauces
RetardedRhino14: Mac and cheese with no cheese. How innovative
007_Santa: So, why oil the chicken then add oil to the pan to cook it?
WalletPhoneKeysPump: Nice variation to the previously posted [tuscan chicken] (https://www.reddit.com/r/GifRecipes/comments/7274ea/creamy_tuscan_chicken/) recipe.
I think even my nephew and niece would swallow this up! Thanks
freecris: [That “tuscan” recipe”…](https://i.imgur.com/ld4pDb5.png)
_That_One_Fellow_: I feel like this would cost a fortune to make 😧
Twiltimicket: Commenting for later
