Chicken Florentine
This dish tastes as good as it is beautiful and is part of a rotation of meals that I know that I can quickly put together on even the busiest day.
I'm a fan of Stouffer's - I have spent a good 1/3 of my life eating Lean Cuisine while dieting! One of my favorite frozen side dishes is their Spinach Souffle - it's light, fluffy, creamy, really good tasting and surprisingly low in calories, carbs and fat. DO NOT confuse it with their Creamed Spinach which is quadruple the calories. This is such a good supper! Chicken - Stouffer's Spinach Souffle - Mushrooms - Swiss Cheese! One two three four main items to YUM.
Ingredients
- 3 large boneless chicken breast halves, about 1 to 1 1/2 pounds
- Salt and pepper
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 2 ounces Swiss cheese, freshly shredded
- 2 tablespoons diced sun dried tomatoes - in the produce section - optional
Instructions
- Lightly coat an 8 x 10 inch baking dish with vegetable cooking spray. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cut chicken into 2 inch cubes. Blend 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, paprika and flour in a small dish. Sprinkle over the chicken and toss to coat.
- Sauce chicken in olive oil over medium high heat until golden. Transfer to baking dish. Brown mushrooms in same pan, 2 to 3 minutes. Add to chicken.
