OLIVE GARDEN TUSCAN GARLIC CHICKEN
This is a copycat of Olive Garden's Tuscan Garlic Chicken. If fettuccine pasta is not available, use a noodle that is similar or something spirally. The sauce is a lighter alfredo style sauce and spaghetti is not a good match for this type of sauce.

Steps:
- Preparing the chicken: Combine 1 1/2 cups flour, salt, black pepper and Italian herb seasoning in a shallow dish.
- Dredge chicken in the mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Saute the chicken in batches, in a large, nonstick, ovenproof skillet -- with enough oil to coat -- over medium-high heat for about two to three minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp.
- When finished, transfer the skillet to a preheated oven at 350 degrees F. Cook for approximately 15 minutes or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
- Preparing the pasta: Cook pasta al dente (or according to package instructions).
- Drain and set aside until needed.
- Preparing the sauce: While the pasta is cooking, heat 1/2 to 1 fluid ounce of oil in a sauce pan. Add the garlic and the red pepper and cook for approximately one minute.
- Slowly add remaining one tablespoon of flour and stir to combine.
- Next, add the white wine and bring to a boil for about one minute. Add the spinach and the cream and bring to a boil. The sauce is done cooking when the spinach becomes wilted. Complete by stirring in the parmesan cheese.
- Preparing Tuscan Garlic Chicken entree: Partly coat the pasta with the sauce, transfer to a large bowl (or individual dishes) and then top with the chicken, the remaining sauce and the extra parmesan cheese. Serve and enjoy.
Tips:
- For the best flavor, use fresh herbs and spices instead of dried ones.
- If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
- To make the sauce creamier, add a tablespoon of heavy cream or sour cream.
- If you want a spicier dish, add a pinch of red pepper flakes or cayenne pepper.
