Chicken Florentine! You know when you make a new recipe and it turns out better than you think it will? This is mine, Chicken Florentine! Before we started on this adventure, the blog,

I thought that only the difficult recipes would knock your socks off. The more I cook new things the easier it gets! That means you can do it too!

I’m a white sauce kind of girl and I love chicken. The dish combines two of my loves and it’s super easy to make! This mouthwatering dish would be perfect for a weekday dinner or if you want to blow someone away with your mad skills.
