Joanna Gaines Chicken Florentine Recipe
Creamy sauce, tender chicken, and just the right amount of spinach—Magnolia's dish is taste bud heaven!A quick sear on the chicken before adding it to the sauce keeps it juicy while giving it a deeper taste.I always use fresh garlic instead of garlic powder because it brings out so much more depth in the sauce.Letting the sauce simmer for a few extra minutes thickens it just enough to coat the chicken perfectly.
