Chicken Florentine
Chicken breast can be so boring, so when I make it for dinner, I need to find ways to make me fall in love. This simple Chicken Florentine recipe made with a creamy spinach sauce, most certainly did! This chicken recipe is a variation of the popular Fish Florentine and Marry Me Chicken, so good over pasta, with roasted potatoes or any grain you like. It’s so easy to make, and my picky husband loved it!
What is chicken Florentine made of?
Here’s the ingredients:
Chicken: I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced into chicken cutlets, but chicken thighs would also work. Seasoning: Kosher salt, black pepper and garlic powder. You can add dried herbs like oregano or thyme. Flour: If you’re gluten-free, use a gluten-free flour mixture instead of all- purpose to dredge the chicken. You can omit this to keep it low carb. Shallots and Garlic give the sauce great flavor. Vegetables: Red bell pepper and baby spinach. You can sub tomatoes for the pepper, if you wish. Cream: I use small amounts of reduced-fat cream cheese and half-and- half for a healthy chicken Florentine that’s still creamy. Broth: You’ll need three-quarters of a cup of chicken broth. You can also use half broth, and half dry white wine like a sauvignon blanc or Pinot grigio. Parmesan Cheese: Add Parmesan to the Florentine sauce and save some for topping your chicken.

Refrigerate the leftovers for up to four days and microwave until warm to reheat. The chicken Florentine will also freeze well for up to three months in freezer-safe containers and can be thawed overnight in the fridge.
