A few years ago, my family and I had the opportunity to visit the beautiful region of Tuscany in Italy. We explored the charming towns, wandered through vineyards, and enjoyed the most incredible Tuscan cuisine. One memorable evening, we dined at a local trattoria and were served a heavenly Tuscan chicken dish that left a lasting impression. The flavors were a perfect blend of herbs, garlic, and sun-dried tomatoes, and the chicken was incredibly tender. I knew right then and there that I had to recreate this dish at home. After several experiments, I finally nailed the recipe, and now I'm excited to share it with you.
