Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated to maintain consistent cooking temperature.
Arrange the chicken pieces in a baking dish.
Use a baking dish large enough to fit the chicken in a single layer for even cooking.
Scatter the sliced red bell pepper and mushrooms over the chicken.
Distribute the vegetables evenly for balanced flavor in every bite.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed tomatoes, water, brown sugar, and Italian seasoning.
Mix the sauce ingredients thoroughly to ensure the flavors are well combined.
Pour the sauce mixture over the chicken and vegetables.
Make sure the sauce covers the chicken and vegetables evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for 50 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked and tender.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the Tuscan Chicken Bake warm, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Pair with a side of crusty bread or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
