Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
All-purpose flour, for dredging
6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons shallots, sliced
1 tablespoon chopped garlic
1 1/2 cups dry white wine
1 cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon chopped fresh Italian parsley
2 (10-ounce) packages frozen cut-leaf spinach, thawed, drained

Steps:

Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and saute until heated through. Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper. Arrange the spinach over a platter. Place the chicken atop the spinach. Pour the sauce over and serve.

Well, I invented this recipe for a burger contest, but was not even in the finals! My family and friends LOVE it and said they cannot believe it did not win something. These are great as they are, or made into mini-burgers for a party or mini-meatballs for a cocktail party!

Time 1h15m

Yield 6 burgers

Number Of Ingredients 15

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups white wine, preferably Pinot Grigio
1/2 large sweet onion, finely diced
3 medium cloves garlic, minced
3/4 pound ground chicken breast
3/4 pound ground chicken thighs
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
12 ounces frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry of all liquid
3 ounces grated Swiss cheese
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
Olive oil
6 sourdough rolls, split horizontally
6 slices Swiss cheese
6 slices beefsteak tomato

Steps:

Put wine, onion and garlic into medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and reduce until about 2 tablespoons of liquid is remaining. Pour reduced wine mixture into shallow pie plate and let cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, in large mixing bowl, place ground chicken meat, salt, pepper, mustard, spinach, grated Swiss, bread crumbs and cooled wine mixture. Gently combine (do not over mix!) and form into 6 patties.
If using gas grill, preheat to high. Brush the grids with olive oil, turn to medium heat and place patties on grill. Close lid and grill for 10 minutes. Flip burgers over, close lid, cook for about 6 more minutes. Brush both sides of rolls with olive oil, place on grill, place 1 slice Swiss on each burger and close lid for about 30 seconds. Check rolls and remove when golden brown. Remove burgers as soon as cheese melts a little. Place patties on rolls, top with tomato slices and serve.
You can also make these inside the house. Preheat large frying pan over medium heat. Add enough olive oil to coat bottom of pan and heat. Add the patties and cover pan for 10 minutes. Flip burgers over, cover pan and cook for about 6 to 8 minutes more or until juices run clear. Top with Swiss and replace cover until cheese melts. Buns can be browned under the broiler.
Enjoy!!

Tips:

To ensure evenly cooked burgers, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing from heat.
For a more intense flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in the Italian dressing for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
If you don't have a meat mallet, you can use a rolling pin to flatten the chicken breasts.
To prevent the burgers from sticking to the grill, lightly grease the grates with cooking oil before cooking.
Serve the burgers immediately with your favorite toppings, such as roasted red peppers, sautéed mushrooms, or crumbled bacon.

Conclusion:

Chicken Florentine burgers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner. The combination of tender chicken, creamy spinach, and melted cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. With a few simple tips, you can create juicy and flavorful burgers that will be the star of your next cookout. So fire up the grill and get ready to enjoy these delicious chicken Florentine burgers!
