This Tuscan chicken dish is zesty, hearty, and a delightful way to eat lycopene!

Sun-dried tomatoes (and regular tomatoes) are loaded with lycopene that supports healthy breasts, prostates, and cells—so make more to share. Garlic also reduces blood pressure and cholesterol and may help prevent dementia.
