Ingredients
For the chicken
-
2 large chicken breasts
-
1/2 teaspoon salt
-
1/2 teaspoon pepper
-
1/2 cup almond flour
-
2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese
-
1 tablespoon olive oil
-
1 tablespoon butter
For the florentine sauce
-
1 tablespoon butter
-
2 cloves garlic minced
-
3/4 cup chicken broth
-
1 tablespoon Italian seasonings
-
1 cup heavy cream
-
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
-
2 cups baby spinach loosely packed
Instructions
-
Slice the two chicken breasts lengthways to form four, thin pieces of chicken. Season the four chicken pieces with salt and pepper and set aside.
-
In a small bowl, whisk together the almond flour and parmesan cheese. Dip each chicken filet in the flour mixture, ensuring everything is covered.
-
Add the oil and one tablespoon of the butter into a skillet and place it over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken and cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden on the outside. Remove the chicken from the heat.
-
Add the extra butter to the pan, along with the garlic, and cook for 30 seconds, before adding the chicken broth and Italian seasoning. Let it simmer for 5-6 minutes, or until it has noticeably reduced. Add the cream and bring it to a boil, then add the parmesan cheese and spinach.
-
Add the chicken back into the pan and let it simmer for 5 minutes, until the sauce thickens.
-
Serve the chicken and the florentine sauce immediately.
