To make a dish “Florentine Style” basically means serving a protein over a bed of spinach.
It also has a delicious cream sauce that’s easy to make.
So I figured why not turn it into a pasta dish!?
Here’s what you need to make Chicken Florentine Pasta:
- 1 lb. of chicken breast
- Fresh garlic
- Chicken broth
- All purpose flour
- Spinach
- Grated Parmesan cheese
- Half and half
- Butter
- Salt and pepper
Instead of using heavy cream for the sauce I used half and half.
For 1/2 cup of heavy cream it is 20 points but 1/2 cup of half and half is only 7 points. That’s 13 less points!
I also limited the amount of butter, using only 1 teaspoon.
To make sure the Chicken Florentine Pasta was filling I used plenty of chicken and spinach.
This recipe is great for using a store bought rotisserie chicken, if you’re looking to save time.
I chose to cook my own chicken for this. I seasoned it with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper then baked it in the oven.
Once it was done cooking I cut it into bite size pieces.
Overall it’s a very easy recipe and more importantly it’s delicious and low in points.
