What it is
This is a pre-portioned meal kit designed to help you recreate Panera's popular Tuscan Chicken dish at home.

To prepare, you will typically cook the marinated chicken according to the package instructions, often by searing or baking. While the chicken cooks, you will prepare the sauce, which usually involves heating the creamy base and incorporating any included seasonings or vegetables. Once the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is ready, you combine them, allowing the flavors to meld. Serve hot, perhaps with a side of pasta or crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
How it differs from similar foods
This kit offers a specific flavor profile associated with Panera's version of Tuscan chicken. It differs from making the dish from scratch by providing pre-measured ingredients and a pre-made sauce base, saving time on chopping and sauce preparation.
