Making Chicken Florentine can be straightforward if you follow these steps carefully:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
2. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
3. Cook Chicken: Add the seasoned chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Remove Chicken: Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate and cover to keep warm.
5. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
6. Add Spinach: Toss in the chopped spinach and cook until it wilts down, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Make the Sauce: Pour in the heavy cream and add the Parmesan cheese. Stir until the sauce thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
8. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top to coat.
9. Season: Add Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes if desired. Stir to combine.
10. Serve Hot: Once everything is heated through, remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

By meticulously following these steps, you’ll create a mouthwatering Chicken Florentine, perfect for any occasion!
