Tuscan Chicken Tomato Roast
Tuscany is famous for fresh local ingredients which they use to cook home-style dishes like this Chicken Tomato Roast. Fresh herbs and top quality tomatoes are the key. We recommend using Knorr Professional Italian Tomato Base which will cut the cooking time down by 15 minutes as the tomatoes are already cooked before packaging. View the full recipe below.
