Chicken Florentine Style is a creamy and flavorful dish featuring chicken breasts cooked with spinach and Parmesan cheese.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)

  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

  5. In the same skillet, add the butter and let it melt.

  7. Add the spinach and cook for 2–3 minutes, until wilted.
  8. Pour in the heavy cream and stir to combine, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
  9. Stir in the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes if using.
  10. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the sauce slightly thickens.
  11. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them to coat evenly.

  13. Serve hot with pasta, rice, or a fresh salad.
