Welcome to Live Well by Raquel, where I share easy and wholesome recipes to nourish your body and mind.
Rustic GF Chicken Boscaiola with Mushrooms & Crispy Bacon is a mid week meal for the whole family. Creamy, cosy, and packed with earthy flavor — this One-Pan Chicken Boscaiola is comfort food at its finest. I
Inspired by the rustic Italian “boscaiola” (which means “woodcutter’s wife”), this dish combines tender chicken with crispy bacon, garlic, mushrooms, and a silky cream sauce that comes together in just one baking dish within 30 minutes. It’s the kind of meal that feels fancy but is easy enough for a busy weeknight. Serve it over gluten free pasta, mashed potatoes, or your favorite veggie noodles for a soul-satisfying dinner.
