Why You’ll Love This Chicken Florentine Skillet
This is the kind of recipe you should save in your bookmarks, pin to your Pinterest boards, and print out to put in a physical cookbook or recipe binder because you’re going to love it!
I’ve taken a classic Italian comfort food dish — Chicken Florentine — and made it dairy-free, paleo, and Whole30-friendly without sacrificing any flavor. I’d go as far to argue that this is better than the traditional recipe!
This healthy version is just as creamy as the original thanks to the coconut-cashew cream sauce. It also features the classic additions of spinach, garlic, mushrooms, and juicy pan fried chicken breasts. I mean, does it get much better than that?
Key Ingredients
This Paleo Chicken Florentine recipe is twofold — the pan fried chicken breasts and the creamy, dairy-free sauce.
For the chicken, you’ll need: boneless, skinless chicken breasts (four total, or two large ones cut in half), Italian seasoning, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and ghee or olive oil (or another light-tasting oil with a high smoke point).
And for the dairy-free cream sauce, you’ll need: sliced mushrooms like baby portobello or button mushrooms, fresh garlic cloves (about five), coconut milk (or coconut cream), raw cashews, fresh-squeezed lemon juice, chicken broth, baby spinach, sea salt, and black pepper.
How To Make Paleo Chicken Florentine
- Prepare the Sauce: Blend the garlic cloves, coconut milk, cashews, lemon juice, and chicken broth together in a blender until smooth so that there are no cashew pieces remaining. Leave the sauce in the blender, and set aside.
- Cook the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts generously on both sides with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper. Heat oil over medium heat in skillet. Sauté the chicken breasts on each side for 6-8 minutes, or until chicken reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit and is browned. Transfer cooked chicken breasts to a plate, and set aside.
- Cook the Veggies: In the same skillet, over medium heat, melt ghee and sauté the mushrooms for 2-3 minutes until soft. Pour the sauce into the skillet and simmer for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Reduce heat to low, and stir in the spinach until just wilted (but not overcooked).
- Bring Everything Together: Return the chicken to the skillet, and spoon the sauce over the chicken. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot, and enjoy!
Hey there! I know this is somewhat off topic but I was wondering which blog
platform are you using for this website? I’m getting tired of
Wordpress because I’ve had problems with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
I would be fantastic if you could point me in the direction of a good
platform.
