Tuscan Chicken Sandwich
Description
Italian and Tuscan cooking are often considered to be the same thing, but they taste very different.
Tuscan food is rustic and hearty, while Italian food can range from light to heavy depending on the dish. Tuscan dishes often use olive oil as a base for sauces or dressings. On the other hand, Italians tend to cook with butter-based sauces, which makes their flavors much richer than those of Tuscan cuisine.
Hence... the Tuscan Chicken Sandwich.
