INGREDIENT NOTES

Chicken – We used chicken breasts for this chicken florentine recipe. All-purpose Flour – Flour helps give the chicken a nice coating and will also help to thicken the sauce. Dry Seasonings – We’ve used a combination of garlic powder, dried thyme, onion powder, dried rosemary, salt and ground black pepper to give the chicken a wonderful burst of flavor.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

For even cooking and tender chicken, pound the chicken to an even thickness all over. See our guide above for tips.   Allow the chicken to come to room temperature for about 30 minutes before cooking. This promotes even cooking and can cut down on shrinking.

VARIATIONS

Use A Seasoning Blend – Don’t have all of the spices listed in the recipe? No problem! Use a seasoning blend like Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence. Add More Veggies – Mushrooms and cherry tomatoes make a wonderful addition to this dish, but you can get creative and add your favorites.

BUDGET FRIENDLY TIPS

Buy Chicken In Bulk – Purchase chicken in bulk packages or on sale and freeze for later use. Use A Seasoning Blend – Keeping many spices on hand can be expensive and take up a lot of space. Substitute the individual spices with Italian seasoning or herbs de Provence.
