We eat A L O T of chicken in our house! I’m always looking for new ways to transform chicken, and this Creamy Chicken Florentine is perfect for the days you crave a good, warm meal. I love this recipe because it has minimal prep work (which is great for busy weeknights), taste really good, and can be served with many different things. Pasta, mashed potatoes or any veggies!
In case you were wondering what ‘florentine”means, it’s basically a fancy words for foods that are made with spinach!
