CHICKEN FLORENTINE STYLE

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

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.

I have a local eatery who makes an amazing flatbread sandwich. This panini is based on their chicken pesto sandwich. I recommend pane turano, or you may use a sturdy sourdough.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Fresh spinach, tender chicken, and flavorful cheese will make all the difference.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the chicken. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the chicken until it is just cooked through. Overcooking will make it dry and tough.
  • Use a good quality bread for the panini. A sturdy bread that can hold up to the fillings is best.
  • Butter the bread before grilling it. This will help it to toast evenly and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Don't overfill the panini. Too many fillings will make it difficult to close and eat.
  • Serve the panini immediately after grilling. This will ensure that the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy.

With its creamy sauce, tender chicken, and flavorful spinach, this panini is sure to please everyone at the table.
