Instructions
1-Getting started with this Chicken Florentine Recipe: Begin by preparing your ingredients to ensure everything flows smoothly in the kitchen. This step-by-step approach makes it easy for beginners and experts alike to create a delicious meal.
2-First: rinse and pat dry the fresh baby spinach, mince the garlic, and season the chicken breasts. This sets the stage for flavorful cooking. Heat the olive oil and one tablespoon of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat to get that perfect sear on the chicken.
3-Next: cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make them thinner and easier to cook. Season both sides with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, then dredge in flour for a nice golden crust. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until itβs golden brown and set it aside to rest.
4-Then: in the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the white wine, chicken broth, and Italian seasoning, letting it simmer for 3-5 minutes to reduce and build flavor. Stir in the heavy cream and let it bubble for 2 minutes before adding the spinach.
5-After that: return the chicken to the skillet and simmer over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until fully cooked and the sauce thickens. Finally, sprinkle the freshly grated Parmesan cheese over the top and adjust seasoning as needed before serving hot.
