Ingredients

For the Chicken

• 2 large chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise)
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter

For the Florentine Sauce

• 3 cloves garlic (minced)
• 1 small onion (finely chopped)
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• Salt to taste
• Black pepper to taste

Instructions

Step 1 – Prepare the Chicken

Pat the chicken dry using paper towels. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, paprika, and Italian seasoning. Lightly coat the chicken with flour for a crispy golden texture.

Step 2 – Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove the chicken from the pan and set aside.

Step 3 – Make the Sauce

In the same skillet, add chopped onion and cook for 2 minutes until soft. Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Pour in the chicken broth and gently scrape the pan to release all the flavorful bits. Add heavy cream, oregano, chili flakes, and parmesan cheese. Stir well until the sauce becomes creamy and smooth.

Step 4 – Add the Spinach

Add fresh spinach to the sauce and cook for 1–2 minutes until wilted.

Step 5 – Combine Everything

Return the cooked chicken to the skillet. Spoon the creamy Florentine sauce over the chicken and simmer for 5 minutes so all the flavors blend together perfectly.

Serving Suggestions

• Creamy mashed potatoes

Tips for the Best Chicken Florentine

• Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
• Do not overcook the chicken to keep it juicy.

Storage Instructions

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove over low heat to keep the sauce creamy.
