From Kitchen in the Shire.
Oh boy. We’re leaping back to prom night — the one where you got dressed up and headed to Olive Garden like it was a five-star restaurant. The creamy Tuscan chicken with sun-dried tomatoes and spinach that made you feel fancy? This is that recipe… elevated, homemade, and done with real ingredients. No shortcuts.
This creamy Tuscan garlic chicken thigh recipe is Kitchen in the Shire’s take on the classic Olive Garden copycat recipe… rich, savory, and built from scratch with white wine, sun-dried tomatoes, Parmesan, and fresh spinach. Golden seared chicken thighs in a creamy white wine Tuscan sauce, served the way it was meant to be. Consider this your Quantum Leap back to the 1990s… except this time, the recipe is better.
What you’ll learn:
•How to get a perfect golden sear on chicken thighs every time.
•Building a real creamy Tuscan wine sauce from scratch.
•Why the Olive Garden original worked and how to make it better at home.
We want to hear YOUR prom night dinner story! Where did you go? What did you order? Did you feel like the fanciest person alive? Drop it in the comments! We’re reading every single one.
