The chicken is cooked in a Marsala wine sauce that pairs perfectly with the spinach. This dish is quick and easy to make but tastes like it came from a fancy restaurant. Serve it over pasta or with a side of mashed potatoes for a complete meal.

Ingredients

• 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter
• 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 cup Marsala wine
• 1 cup chicken broth
• 2 cups fresh spinach
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

1. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge them in flour, shaking off any excess.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 5 minutes per side. Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
3. In the same skillet, add the sliced mushrooms and garlic. Cook until the mushrooms are tender and golden brown, about 5 minutes.
4. Pour in the Marsala wine and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and let cook for 5 minutes to reduce the liquid slightly.
5. Stir in the fresh spinach and cook until wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
6. Return the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
7. Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Cook for an additional 2 minutes, until the sauce is creamy and heated through.
8. Serve the Chicken Marsala Florentine over pasta or with mashed potatoes, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese, if desired.
