Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 5 ounces Baby spinach
- 2 cups Frozen broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Chicken broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing into thin strips.
In the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and stir continuously for 1-2 minutes to create a roux. Gradually whisk in the chicken broth and heavy cream, ensuring no lumps form.
Add the Dijon mustard and stir well. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes until thickened. Remove the skillet from the heat.
In a large bowl, combine the spinach (lightly wilted if fresh), broccoli florets, and sliced chicken. Pour the sauce over the mixture and stir to coat evenly.
Transfer the chicken and vegetable mixture to the prepared baking dish. Spread it out evenly in the dish.
In a small bowl, mix the mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the top of the casserole.
Drizzle olive oil over the breadcrumb topping to help it crisp up while baking.
Bake the dish in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the topping is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your creamy, cheesy Chicken Florentine Divan!
