Cheesy Chicken Florentine image

I found this in the paper a while back, and I absolutely love the taste.(although I'm not "allowed" to make it very often, because the hubby doesn't like Swiss cheese.)It's very,very tasty,and a good way to get your spinach.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 ounces thin spaghetti
1/2 lb boneless skinless chicken breast half
1 teaspoon olive oil
1 large onion (for about 1 cup chopped)
1 tablespoon instant minced garlic
1/4 cup madeira wine (see note)
1 (10 ounce) container refridgerated reduced-fat alfredo sauce or 1 (10 ounce) container regular alfredo sauce
3/4 cup shredded swiss cheese
1 (10 ounce) package fresh spinach, washed and de-stemmed
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, shredded or grated

Steps:

  • Cook spaghetti as package directs.
  • Keep warm.
  • Heat oil over medium heat in extra-deep 12-inch,non-stick skillet that has a lid.
  • Peel and coarsely chop onion,adding to the skillet as you chop.
  • Cook,stirring from time to time,while you begin cuttung the chicken into bite-size pieces.
  • This step I do ahead of time.
  • Add the pieces to the skillet.
  • Raise heat to medium-high, and cook and stir until the chicken is no longer pink on the surface,about 3 minutes.
  • Add the garlic and Madeira,and stir and cook 1 minute.
  • Reduce heat to medium, add Alfredo sauce,and stir to mix well.
  • Sprinkle Swiss cheese evenly over the chicken mixture, then place the spinach leaves over the cheese.
  • The pan may seem too full, but the spinach will wilt down.
  • Cover the pan and cook 3 minutes to let the spinach begin to wilt.
  • Uncover, and stir the mixture well.
  • Serve over cooked,drained spaghetti and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese NOTE: Dry sherry or apple juice can be substituted for Madeira wine.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my sauce turned out too thin. I think I'll add less milk next time.
