Paul's Chicken Florentine With Mornay Sauce
- add review
- #102988

ingredients
2 pounds boneless chicken breasts, pounded thinly
flour, salt, pepper for coating
olive oil (for sauteing)
Spinach Topping
1/2 cup white wine (for deglazing pan)
2 packages (10 ounce size) frozen chopped spinach
1 onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic
heavy cream
salt, pepper, nutmeg
sliced mozzarella cheese
Mornay Sauce
3 tablespoons (or so) butter
3 tablespoons (or so) flour
2 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese (to taste)
nutmeg
salt and pepper
directions
First, coat the chicken lightly in flour seasoned with salt and pepper. Saute until golden brown over medium-high heat in olive oil.
At the same time microwave the spinach (still in the box, of course) until defrosted (takes about 8 minutes in my microwave).
Now, add garlic, onion and wine to pan and de-glaze; cook until the wine has almost entirely evaporated. Then add the spinach. Season with nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste and add some cream to moisten (optional).
Place chicken in a single layer in baking dish and top with the spinach mixture. Place a slice of Mozzarella on top of each piece of chicken.
Now, make the sauce: Melt the butter in a pan and add the flour and cook for a minute. Turn off the heat, add the milk and cook until the sauce has thickened. Add the Parmesan, salt, nutmeg and pepper to taste.
Pour sauce over the chicken and bake in a 350 degrees F oven until hot and bubbly.
Serve with a nice white wine and some pasta and a salad and some fresh baked bread.

Chef Jarrod this was such an easy meal and yet so very tasty. I made it for a work luncheon and now I am asked at least a couple of times a month to "Make that Italian chicken thing again!!" Wayno1

Totally gorgeous! Hubby loved it, and I'll make it again soon. Used fresh Spinach straight from the garden, and it was so tasty. Thanks for a great recipe.
