Are you familiar with the Tuscan way of cooking? It’s simple, rustic and basically all about using a few ingredients to create bold flavors — think hearty peasant food. I’m all about making easy comfort food, so Tuscan-style cooking is right up my alley! 

I made this quick and easy one pan Tuscan garlic chicken dinner the other night in less than 30 minutes, using only a few ingredients. And you know what? Pasta isn’t one of them! Now as much as I love pasta, I wanted to keep this dish as simple as possible. And since beans are common in Tuscan cuisine, I used cannellini beans instead of pasta.

I started out by seasoning some chicken tenders and browning them in some olive oil, which is also a staple in Tuscan cooking.

Then, I added the beans and a jar of Bertolli Olive Oil and Garlic Sauce. It’s rich, thick and perfectly seasoned, so there’s no need to add any extra herbs or spices. In other words, it’s a great time saver, which is what you want when you need to get dinner on the table in a hurry.

The dish needed a little extra color and freshness, so I added some baby kale. And that’s really all you need to make this easy one pan chicken dinner.

Serve it with some crusty bread, and you’ve got a delicious, easy weeknight dinner the whole family will love.
