I think we can all agree that when it comes to chicken recipes, we’re always looking for new ones. There are only so many times you can bake the same chicken or follow the same recipe. I’m always looking for new recipes to try that puts a spin on the standard chicken breasts. These tuscan chicken cakes are served over simple mixed greens and topped with a tomato relish to really amp up the wow factor. The best part is, they only look hard to make. I love this recipe for serving when you have family or guests over since they look so pretty plated and are easy to make ahead.

These sound so delicious and healthy! I’m not a fan of seafood so I love that these are chicken cakes instead of crab cakes! <3, Pamela Sequins & Sea Breezes
Yummy!! Are you able to eat chicken during pregnancy? I had such a food aversion, mainly during the first trimester, but it was such a huge accomplishment if I could eat chicken haha
This sounds so yummy! I will be making.
Looks delicious! It’s the perfect meal for spring time. 🙂
