Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by seasoning your chicken breast cutlets generously with garlic powder, salt, and pepper, ensuring each piece is flavorful. Dredge the seasoned cutlets lightly in all-purpose flour, shaking off any excess. Set them aside while you prepare to warm up your skillet for cooking.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a generous drizzle of olive oil. Once the oil shimmers, carefully place the chicken cutlets in the skillet. Cook them for about 4 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F. Once done, remove the chicken from the pan and set it aside on a plate.
- In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add unsalted butter. Allow it to melt and become slightly bubbly, then stir in minced fresh garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant and golden, ensuring not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in a half cup of dry white wine, scraping the bottom of the pan to release any browned bits. Let the wine simmer for about 2-3 minutes until it reduces by half.
- Add chicken broth and heavy cream to the skillet, stirring well to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, allowing it to cook on low heat for about 2 minutes until it thickens slightly.
- Incorporate grated Parmesan cheese into the mixture, stirring until melted and smooth. Then, add the vibrant baby spinach, gently folding it into the sauce until wilted.
- Carefully return the cooked chicken cutlets to the skillet, nestling them in the creamy sauce. Let them simmer in the sauce for an additional 2-3 minutes before plating.
- Once heated through and the sauce has reached your desired consistency, serve the Chicken Florentine warm.
