Chicken Florentine Casserole
I loved this recipe. I made this for my mom after her surgery and she loved it. I only used 1 box of spinach instead of 2 and I used real bacon and not bacon bits, other than that it was great!

Directions
Preheat oven to 350℉ (180℃) F (175 degrees C). Place the chicken breast halves on a baking sheet; bake 20 to 30 minutes, until no longer pink and juices run clear. Remove from heat, and set aside. Increase the oven temperature to 400℉ (200℃) (200 degrees C).
Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stirring constantly, mix in the garlic, lemon juice, cream of mushroom soup, Italian seasoning, half-and-half, and Parmesan cheese.
Arrange the spinach over the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish . Cover the spinach with the mushrooms.
Pour half the mixture from the saucepan over the mushrooms. Arrange chicken breasts in the dish, and cover with the remaining sauce mixture. Sprinkle with bacon bits, and top with mozzarella cheese.
Bake 20 to 25 minutes in the 400℉ (200℃) (200 degrees C) oven, until bubbly and lightly browned.

This recipe tells you to melt the butter, but there is no mention of butter in the ingredients. Also one of the comments mentioned using chicken broth instead of bouillion but there is no mention of either one of these in the recipe. I wanted to make this but now I'm not so sure.
about 10 years agoIt should be 4 tablespoons of butter in the ingredients. W have made this recipe a few times, have never used either chicken broth or bullion, and so far they have come out fantastic. So it has been proved that it's a delicious dish, you won't be disappointed. Happy Cooking :-)

Good to know happyzhangbo! Thank You! Do you use fresh or canned mushrooms? Do you use canned or frozen spinach?
about 10 years agoYou are welcome! We normally use fresh white button or cremini mushrooms. For the spinach, if we have fresh ones on hand, we use fresh ones; but if we happen to make it without any fresh spinach, we just use frozen ones instead, and it works well :) Have never used canned spinach, but It should work I think.
