Easy Italian Chicken Florentine Recipe

	Sparow64 / All my dishes 1 year, 1 month ago Had been kickin' around an idea for pasta using grape tomatoes since we have so many growing, and still blooming! Bryan had thawed out chicken, so, this is what I came up with. Sounds involved but, it's actually very easy and comes together quickly. ... More Prep:20m Cook:45m Servings:6	Sparow64

Ingredients

2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins

Extra Virgin Olive Oil

3 T margarine

Seasoned Salt

Garlic Pepper

Italian Seasoning

White wine worcestershire

1 tub sliced fresh mushrooms

White Wine Worcestershire

1 c grape tomatoes, halved

1 c spinach, fresh or frozen

3 bay leaves

1 jar Classico Mushroom and Ripe Olive Spaghetti Sauce (or any you like)

3/4 box thin spaghetti

Shredded Italian Blend cheese

Directions

Pour sauce into small saucepan and add a few shakes of italian seasoning, 2 T of the garlic, dash red pepper flakes and 3 bay leaves

Simmer with lid while everything else cooks **

Set large pot of water to boil with kosher salt and EVOO, cook pasta according to directions. (Ibreak in half before putting in the pot)

Drizzle EVOO into large nonstick skillet and add margarine

Rinse chicken and season one side with Italian Seasoning, Seasoned Salt and Garlic Pepper

Place seasoned side down in skillet

Season the other side facing up in skillet

Add generous shakes of parmesan cheese over all

Slice onion in thin lengthwise strips over chicken

As chicken browns, turn it over and shake parmesan on that side

Add the other 2 T garlic

Stir often to get bits off the bottom of pan and get onion cooking

Drizzle white wine worcestershire over all

As chicken gets done, add mushrooms, spinach and grape tomatoes

Pour seasoned sauce over all, stir, add lid

When pasta is done, rinse

Add pasta to plate, a few strips of chicken, sprinkle itlaina blend shredded cheese over chicken in plate, top with sauce, add more shredded cheese

Serve with salad and garlic bread

* * The jarred sauce needs to simmer with the additional seasonings for a whilte to give it time to absorb the flavor. If you prefer to not have the additional pan to wash, you can add the seasonings when you add the sauce to the chicken, and then, start your pasta water at that point. That will give it time to come together. I prefer the extra pan and dinner being done a little quicker so I can move on to something else.
