Skillet Chicken Florentine Recipes

CHICKEN FLORENTINE

Steps:

• Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When oil shimmers, add chicken and cook for at least 5-6 minutes (or until nicely browned on the first side). Flip the chicken breast over and brown on the second side (about 6-10 more minutes). The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Remove chicken and set aside on a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
• Add onion to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until tender (about 3-5 minutes). Scrape up all of the browned chicken bits from the bottom of the pan so that the flavor incorporates into your sauce! Add garlic and cook, stirring, for one more minute.
• Stir in the Dijon, soup and water; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, stir in spinach, salt, pepper and nutmeg; cook for about 3 minutes (or until spinach is warmed through). Stir in half-and-half and simmer for 3-4 more minutes (do not boil). Add extra half-and-half, as needed, to thin sauce to reach desired consistency. Taste the sauce and season with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
• Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over top. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese and fresh herbs, if desired.

CHICKEN FLORENTINE STYLE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.
• Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and saute until heated through. Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper. Arrange the spinach over a platter. Place the chicken atop the spinach. Pour the sauce over and serve.

• Meanwhile, in small bowl, stir 1/4 cup of the half-and-half, the flour, salt and nutmeg until smooth; set aside.

• Reduce heat to low. Stir in pasta and half-and-half mixture. Cook about 1 minute or until thickened. Stir in remaining 1 cup half-and-half. Sprinkle cheese over top. Cover; let stand 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

CHICKEN FLORENTINE PASTA

Steps:

• Cook the pasta according to package directions in lightly salted water. Drain and set aside.
• Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Heat the butter and olive oil over high heat in a large skillet. Add the chicken chunks in a single layer and do not stir for a minute or two in order to allow the chicken to brown on the first side. Flip the chicken and brown on the other side. Cook until done, and then remove the chicken from the skillet.
• Turn the heat to medium. Add the garlic and quickly stir to avoid burning. After about 30 seconds, pour in the broth and wine, stirring to deglaze the skillet. Allow the liquid to bubble up, and then continue cooking until it's reduced by at least half (most of the surface of the liquid should be bubbling at this point).
• Turn off the heat. Add the spinach, tomatoes, chicken, cooked pasta and Parmesan shavings to the skillet. Toss to combine; the spinach will wilt as you toss everything.
• Add more Parmesan shavings and serve immediately! Serve with extra Parmesan shavings.
