Pinterest Trial #5: Tuscan Chicken
We're in love with Alyssa Rivers' Creamy Tuscan Garlic Chicken. I found it on Pinterest , saved it, and haven't stopped referring to it again and again. I'm a terrible cook. I always forget something, or take shortcuts when following recipes, and usually that means the whole thing implodes. Not the case with this batch of deliciousness. PC: From the Original Recipe here . There are a few differences between the creative genius' version and ours (some you'll notice straight away, others maybe not): The original recipe calls for garlic powder & chopped spinach (amongst other things).

He had me totally invested in his birthday "party" idea. Then lightsabers became involved. Aaaaand I was out. No. No, no. No, no. Wish I was kidding.
