Chicken Florentine
- 3 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (4 ounces each)
- 2-3 T butter or oil
- 2 green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose (gf) flour
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 C sherry, white wine, or chicken broth
- 1/2 cup whole milk
- 1 package (10 ounces) frozen or fresh chopped spinach
- 2 tablespoons diced pimientos or 1/2 c mushrooms (optional)
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese or italian cheese blend
Directions
- Flatten chicken to 1/2-in. thickness. Cook in 1-2 tablespoons oil/butter for 4-5 minutes on each side. After flipping to the second side, add and saute onions in remaining butter for 2-3 minutes or until tender (can also cook the chicken to 160 degrees and remove first if there's not enough room in the pan). Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.
- Gradually add flour, salt, basil and oregano; stir in milk and sherry/broth until blended. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Stir in spinach and pimientos or mushrooms, if desired; heat through.
- Remove from the heat. Stir in sour cream until blended, sprinkle with cheese.
- Serve with mashed potatoes or pasta of choice.
