A rich and creamy chicken Florentine.
0:03
But come on down on the other end
0:05
of the counter because I'm gonna show you a recipe
0:09
for chicken Florentine casserole.
0:13
Chicken Florentine y'all has such a good reputation
0:17
in the kitchen because it's so simple.
0:19
I'm gonna use six chicken breasts
0:22
that I've poached off and shredded.
0:25
Now you can use a whole chicken
0:27
if you've got a whole chicken laying around.
0:29
Like I said, we're just gonna shred that
0:32
and I've got two 10 ounce packages
0:34
of frozen spinach that I've had here draining.
0:39
And we're just gonna push that down
0:40
in there and get out all that water
0:43
because the freezing process can cause them
0:46
to absorb a lot of water.
0:50
I'm gonna take two cans of cream of mushroom soup.
0:54
If you want to you can make a home made mushroom soup.
0:57
It's really really easy
1:00
and that will make your dish more rich.
1:03
But I'm just gonna use the things
1:04
that I have available in my pantry.
1:08
Now I'm gonna add about a cup of sour cream.
1:12
That looks about like a cup.
1:15
I'm gonna add a cup of mayonnaise.
1:23
And I'm just gonna mix that together
1:26
and get my wet ingredients all blended.
1:29
I'm gonna add a tea spoon of curry powder.
1:35
And this is gonna turn
1:37
our wet ingredients real yellow
1:40
and give EM' a wonderful flavor.
1:44
Gonna add a little salt.
1:48
Little fresh ground pepper.
1:53
A couple of table spoons of lemon juice.
1:59
Here lets get my little catcher here.
2:04
So that looks like a couple of table spoons.
2:11
Now I'm gonna eye ball a 1/2 a cup of wine.
2:15
Now if you don't have any wine,
2:17
or just choose not to use wine.
2:19
You can just add a little bit more lemon juice
2:23
for the acidity that you would need.
2:27
That's probably a 1/2 a cup.
2:30
And then I'm gonna add one cup
2:32
of sharp shredded cheddar cheese.
2:36
And now I, you know, I.
2:41
That one cups not quite enough.
2:44
I don't like to be stingy with my cheese
2:46
in Chicken Florentine.
2:48
So I'm gonna add the the rest of that cheese.
2:55
So there's no such thing as too much cheese.
3:00
I probably tossed in another cup.
3:03
I think two cups of shredded cheddar
3:05
would be just about perfect.
3:07
All right, so we're just gonna add
3:10
our wet ingredients to our chicken.
3:13
The word Florentine is
3:15
an Italian word and it usually involves spinach.
3:19
So in goes our two 10 ounce packages
3:22
of drained frozen spinach.
3:26
I think I'm gonna switch
3:27
to the bigger spatula.
3:31
And we're just gonna stir
3:34
Okay, so there we go just that easily.
3:42
So I have prepared us a casserole dish.
3:45
so that our casserole will come out nice and clean.
3:50
So, this dish is so simple.
3:53
You can top this with more cheese,
3:58
but I'm gonna top mine.
4:00
Oops, get back in there chicken.
4:03
He wanted to fly out.
4:06
All right, I'm gonna top mine with 1/2 a cup
4:10
of fresh bread crumbs
4:12
and 1/2 a cup of just grated Parmesan cheese
4:15
that I've picked up from the grocery store,
4:17
you know the kind in the can.
4:19
And I'm just gonna mix those two items together.
4:28
And so we're just gonna top
4:29
that with our bread and our cheese.
4:38
Just gonna spread it around.
4:41
And now I'm just gonna dot this
4:42
with a little bit of butter.
4:47
Because we know that the butter gives
4:49
it more richness and more flavor,
4:58
Okay, so I'm gonna stick this
4:59
in a pre heated 350 degree oven.
5:02
We're gonna bake it for about 30 minutes.
5:06
on our Chicken Florentine.
5:15
Oh, let's sit it down
5:17
That's heavy and hot.
5:20
to taste this delicious easy potluck meal
5:25
that we've cooked up.
5:28
And all you new brides out there I hope y'all are watching
5:32
because this is one recipe
5:36
from the beginning of your marriage
5:38
to the end of your marriage.
5:40
And that's Chicken Florentine.
5:45
Oh, and the Florentine looks delicious.
