FLORENTINE STUFFED CHICKEN
Bone-in chicken breasts stuffed with spinach, cheese and onion and baked until tender. This is a simple recipe that I cooked up myself. It is, however, based on some pretty standard Greek/Italian dishes. Everyone loves this and it can be wonderful for company - even people who don't usually like spinach find that they like this dish! Serve with your favorite shaped pasta, if desired.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- In a medium bowl, combine the spinach, Parmesan cheese and onion and mix thoroughly. Stuff the cavity of each chicken breast with 1/4 of the mixture. (NOTE: Bone-in split breasts usually have a little cavity; if one is not naturally present, use a sharp knife to make a slit in the side of the breast.)
- Lay stuffed breasts in a 9x13 inch baking dish, and cover with the sauce.
- Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 35 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and tender; sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake another 5 minutes, until cheese is melted.

Steps:
- Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and saute until heated through. Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper. Arrange the spinach over a platter. Place the chicken atop the spinach. Pour the sauce over and serve.

CHICKEN AND STUFFING FLORENTINE
Florentine refers to the spinach which is added to this recipe. It is a welcome addition, adding color and pizzazz. You could use 3 cups chopped fresh spinach instead of the frozen, if you wish. Recipe is from the Stove-Top people.

Steps:
- Put a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 or 3 minutes.
- Add 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet and swirl it around
- Put about .25 cup of flour on a plate. When the butter foam subsides, dredge the chicken in flour, shaking to remove the excess.
- Add the breasts to the skillet and cook so there is a constant sizzle but no burning.
- Cook, turning once, until the chicken is browned on both sides and nearly cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
- Add 1 pound spinach to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until the liquid from the spinach evaporates completely.
- With the heat still on medium-high, add .5 cup of white wine to the skillet and let it bubble, stirring, until it is reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
- Wait 30 seconds, then stir in .5 cup heavy or sour cream (yogurt is fine if you keep the heat low). Turn heat to low, stirring, until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, turn in the sauce and serve.
Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
- Don't overcook the chicken. Chicken is best when it is cooked through but still juicy. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Use a good quality stuffing mix. There are many different stuffing mixes available, so choose one that you like the flavor of.
- Add your own personal touch. Feel free to add other ingredients to the stuffing, such as vegetables, herbs, or spices.
- Serve the dish immediately. Chicken and stuffing Florentine is best when it is served hot and fresh.
Conclusion:
Chicken and stuffing Florentine is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal.
