V-Day just so happens to be the perfect time to show off your cooking skills and impress the one you love.

TikToker @nxtlvlcooking has a recipe for a Tuscan chicken dish bathed in a creamy, garlicky sauce and served with the pasta of your choice.

So let’s get into the recipe and get yourself prepared for the most romantic date night you’ve had in a while!

Start by slicing some chicken breasts in half. Season both sides of the chicken with salt, black pepper, paprika, basil seasoning, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.

Next, sprinkle all-purpose flour on both sides of the chicken. Then, cook the chicken in two to three tablespoons of olive oil until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

Remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside. Place three tablespoons of butter and two cloves of chopped garlic into the pan. Cook until the garlic is fragrant.

Then, add four mushrooms, one cup of grape tomatoes, and three-quarters cup of pasta water. You can also use cherry tomatoes instead of grape tomatoes if you’d like.

Once the tomatoes are soft and mushy, add a handful of spinach, one cup of heavy cream, a quarter cup of parmesan cheese, a half teaspoon of black pepper, a pinch of salt, and one teaspoon of basil seasoning.

Finally, add the chicken breasts to the sauce and serve with linguine or fettuccine pasta. Your Valentine will think this Tuscan chicken dish came straight from the kitchen of an upscale Italian restaurant!
