Hi! Half and half is not listed in the ingredient list, but is in the instructions. Chicken broth is listed twice in the ingredient list.
Hi Julia. I made the tuscan chicken pasta the other night and noticed the half and half was left out of your ingredients list. I had to go back to your video to see how much to use. Tasty dish, but I did alter it a bit. The hubby doesn’t like sun dried tomatoes, and I was out of tomato paste. I added some tomato sauce to taste. I tasted the sauce near the end and found it a bit bland for me, so I added some basil, herbs de Provence, garlic powder, and onion powder. We both liked it. I think next time I’ll add some chopped onion.
