Tuscan Chicken Pasta Recipe

My friend, Karyn, posts the most amazing photos of stuff she makes on Facebook, both food and craft-wise, plus her kids are adorable, so I love seeing her posts come across my Facebook feed! She made this yummy looking Tuscan Chicken Pasta that made my mouth water earlier this week (plus I’m a sucker for angel hair pasta). Of course, all of her friends wanted the recipe, so she was happy to share that as well.
