Chicken Florentine

A little twist on a classic recipe! This simple take on the chicken and spinach favourite is a breeze.

Ingredients

3 tbsp light Italian dressing, divided
4 cups lightly packed baby spinach leaves
4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts (1 lb)
80g thinly sliced deli smoked ham (about 4 slices)
1 cup shredded light Swiss cheese

Instructions

Heat 1 tbsp of the dressing in a large, ovenproof skillet on medium heat. Add spinach; cook and stir 1 minute or just until spinach is wilted. Remove from skillet; cover to keep warm.

Add remaining 2 tbsp of dressing and the chicken to skillet; turn chicken over to evenly coat both sides with dressing. Cook 5 to 6 minutes on each side or until chicken is cooked through (170-degrees F).

Top evenly with ham and cheese; cover. Reduce heat to low; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is melted. Or, place under a broiler to brown. Spoon spinach mixture evenly onto 4 plates; top each with a chicken breast.

Notes

Makes 4 servings.

Count each serving as 4 proteins (group 6).
