Creating Chicken Florentine is incredibly straightforward if you follow these simple steps:
1. Season Chicken: Sprinkle salt and pepper on both sides of the chicken breasts.
2. Heat Oils: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
5. Add Spinach: Toss in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
6. Prepare Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream, stirring continuously. Add grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and crushed red pepper flakes (if using). Mix well.
7. Combine: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, coating it with the creamy sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through.
