One pot creamy chicken mushroom Florentine is ready in 1 hour.  Looking for something fast and yummy; look no further. Some days are just so busy, when you get to the end of the day you say “what am I going to fix for dinner”? Here it is.

I am always glad to make a recipe that you can cook in one pan in under 1 hour.  This makes a nice change from the regular spaghetti.

My family absolutely loved it and even my son that will not eat tomatoes told me how delicious it is! It is so good with the spinach in it, and your family will be amazed at how little you even taste the spinach.

I always love a recipe that helps us get more of our vegetables into our meals, and that tastes great at the same time. Then when it comes to noodles with white sauce on them, that is another one of my weaknesses.

I know that spring is on the way and I am so looking forward to seeing all of the beautiful new flowers and the trees in blossom. It is also a wonderful thing to hear the birds singing. I wonder if we got up every morning and started singing if we would feel better.

Birds are a great reminder of how we need to enjoy every day. I know that there are a lot of things to be grateful for, and one pot creamy chicken Florentine is not exception. If there is a person in your family that has issues with a few of the vegetables, maybe you could add a little more cheese to appease them.

Raw Spinach is rich in many essential nutrients, including:

• Vitamin C

• Folate
• Riboflavin

I used bacon in this Florentine, but prosciutto is often used in Florentine. I wasn’t looking for a fancy dish to impress anybody. My goal was just to have a delicious dish to impress everyone, and it worked. But you could definitely use prosciutto instead of the bacon.

 

Should I use Bacon or Prosciutto in my One Pot Creamy Chicken Mushroom Florentine?

 

Bacon:

• Bacon comes from the belly of the pig.
• Bacon is cured, but not salt-cured.
• It must be cooked before being eaten.

 

Prosciutto:

• Prosciutto comes from the hind leg of the pig.
• Prosciutto is salt-cured and air-dried for months.
• It is safe to eat without cooking.

 

 

My son was not too excited about the sun dried tomatoes in this one pot creamy chicken mushroom Florentine, but I saw him go back for seconds!  Really, you can’t even taste them.  They are really just a nice touch of flavor.

Then the spinach was the reason for the next evil eye I got, but again it just adds some nice flavor and if you put some extra cheese on top, they don’t seem to mind.  The rest of my family didn’t seem to mind, and just think— there are three vegetables in this dish.

I hope that you enjoy it and that you spend the extra time you saved making dinner tonight, on yourself with a good movie or book! Better yet, how about write a thank you to someone or give and old friend that you haven’t seen or talked to in awhile, a call.

 

Tips and Tricks For One Pot Creamy Chicken Mushroom Florentine:
