Creamy Tuscan Chicken

This is a dish full of savory creamy deliciousness! It's a lightly fried chicken thigh covered in a cheesy white sauce with spinach and tomatoes. It is so good! My kids even love it and they're extremely picky. I like to pair this chicken with white rice. You could also pair it with pasta, if you prefer. Start to finish, this meal took about 30 minutes.
