Ingredients Needed

This meal is so flavorful and filled with so many delicious things. It’s seriously one of my all-time favorite recipes! Sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, chicken, and spinach all cook in the creamy sauce and get tossed in the pasta. You really can’t go wrong with this combination of ingredients.

Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts: Cut into one-inch pieces so they will cook evenly and quickly. Butter: Both unsalted or salted will work, just adjust your salting at the end accordingly. Olive Oil: Use a high-quality, extra virgin olive oil to cook the sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and mushrooms in. Garlic Cloves: Minced garlic gives a rich, savory taste to the cream sauce. Sun-Dried Tomatoes: This is my favorite ingredient in this recipe because of their intense sweet and tart flavor! They really take the sauce from good to great. Small Mushrooms: Sliced and cooked with the garlic and tomatoes in olive oil. I used button mushrooms, but you could also use cremini or brown mushrooms. Flour: A small amount is added to the garlic and oil to create a roux. Chicken Broth: Gives the sauce a savory, flavorful base. You could also use a splash of white wine! Half and Half: Sweetens the sauce and makes it nice and creamy. Salt and Pepper: Season to taste! Garlic Powder: Even more garlic flavor? Always! Linguine: Break in half for easier cooking and serving. I love the way linguine tastes with the creamy sauce, but you can also swap this out for your favorite pasta! Penne is another great option, as it holds in all of the flavorful sauce. Grated Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated parmesan makes a huge difference, trust me! Fresh Baby Spinach: Thawed frozen spinach works in a pinch, but fresh is best. You can also use baby kale instead.

How to Make Chicken Mushroom Florentine

Measure Out Ingredients: Assemble the ingredients before you start. Keeping your ingredients organized helps to keep cooking time down and you can verify you have everything you need before beginning. Cook Meat First: Start by cooking the meat first. The flavors the meat leaves in the bottom of the pan get incorporated through all the layers to come after. Adjust Cooking Time: Add ingredients in descending order of cooking time. Things that need the longest cooking time should go in first. Cut Tomatoes: Chop sun-dried tomatoes into smaller pieces so that they are not too overpowering.

Use Whole Milk: Whole milk works great in place of half and half. Add Olives: If you love black or green olives, this is a great place to use them! Add a ½ cup to this recipe! Use Fresh Spinach: Frozen spinach will work, however I prefer fresh spinach since the flavor and texture are so much better. Use Different Meat: Switch out the chicken breasts for boneless skinless chicken thighs or even boneless pork chops. More Add-Ins: Add more of the flavors you love. This recipe is super easy to adapt to suit your family, so get creative! The creamy chicken goes great with diced red onion, sliced zucchini, and artichoke hearts too! Use Different Cheese: If you are feeling cheesy, try mixing in other cheeses like mozzarella, asiago or fontina cheeses. They would give this creamy florentine even more dynamic flavor. Add Garnish: Garnish with 1 bunch of green onion (you can use both the green and white parts!)

In the Refrigerator: Store your chicken mushroom florentine within 2 hours of cooking it and transfer to an airtight container. Then, leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you’re ready to enjoy it, heat over the stove or in the microwave!
