Main Ingredients

Roasted Garlic Parmesan Sauce

Sides

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Roasting Garlic

    Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the top off the head of garlic to expose the cloves, drizzle with olive oil, wrap in foil, and roast in the oven for 30-35 minutes until soft.

  2. 2

    Chicken Preparation

    While the garlic is roasting, season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Heat some olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the chicken breasts on both sides until golden brown. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  3. 3

    Sautéing Vegetables

    In the same skillet, add chopped onions and cook until translucent. Then add sliced mushrooms and cook until softened. Finally, add the spinach and cook until wilted.

  4. 4

    Preparing Ham

    Chop the smoked ham into small pieces and add it to the skillet with the vegetables. Stir to combine and heat through.

Making the Sauce

  1. 5

    Blending the Sauce

    Once the garlic is roasted, squeeze the cloves out of their skins into a blender. Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, and dried thyme. Blend until smooth.

  2. 6

    Heating the Sauce

    Pour the blended sauce back into the skillet and bring to a simmer. Add the sautéed chicken breasts back into the skillet and coat them in the sauce.

Serving

  1. 7

    Plating the Dish

    Serve the chicken florentine over a bed of cooked rice or alongside mashed potatoes. Spoon additional sauce over the top and garnish with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
