Chicken Florentine

Step 1

Season chicken breasts on all sides with salt and pepper.

Step 2

In a large skillet heat olive oil and butter over medium high heat. Add chicken breasts. Cook for 4 minutes per side or until golden and juices run clear. Remove to a platter and keep warm.

Step 3

To the skillet add onion and garlic. Sauté for 3-5 minutes or just until softened. Cook over medium-high heat scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Step 4

Add white wine to pan to deglaze. Cook for 2 minutes to slightly reduce. Add spinach, dry Italian seasoning and 1/2 tsp salt cooking just until wilted.

Step 5

Next, add cream cheese and half and half. Cook over medium while stirring until the cream cheese has melted completely.

Step 6

Add chicken breasts back to the skillet, spooning sauce over the chicken. Simmer over medium-low for 3 minutes or just until heated through.

Step 7

Sprinkle the top with grated Parmesan cheese and parsley then serve over mashed potatoes or angel hair pasta drizzled with sauce.
