Chicken Florentine

This is one of my very favorite chicken breast recipes and the nutritional value is phenomenal!

Chicken Florentine

1 Package (10 Ounces) frozen spinach
2 Garlic cloves (I used garlic that is already chopped. They sell huge jars at Costco that are very good).
1 pound thinly sliced chicken cutlets (I buy regular chicken breast because it's cheaper and then pound it down so it's thinner).
Salt and pepper
1/4 cup olive oil
3 Tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

1. Thaw the spinach in a microwave on high for 1 to 2 minutes. Drain well. Squeeze to remove as much moisture as possible. Finely chop the garlic.

2. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper. Heat 3 tablespoons of the oil in a large frying pan. Add the chicken and cook over med-high heat, turning, until lightly browned and cooked throughout, 1 1/2- 2 minutes per side. Remove to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.

3. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan and reduce the heat to medium. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 1 minute. Stir in the spinach and cook, stirring, until heated through, about 1 minute. Stir in the cheese and remove from the heat. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. To serve, spread the spinach on a platter and arrange the chicken on top. Drizzle any juices from the plate over all.

You really don't need to add anything to this dish. It's a full meal with lean protein and leafy, dark green vegies and the garlic and Parmesan makes it very flavorful.

Enjoy!!
