Chicken Florentine with White Wine Cream Sauce
Juicy chicken breasts topped with fresh spinach, tomatoes and a creamy white sauce that is AH-MAZING!
You’ll never believe it but I went to my very first dog party. No, wait. Butters and I went to our very first dog party.
I’m serious.
We both got in the car and ventured out into West Hollywood, pulling up in his finest sweater in 95 degree weather of course.
From there, he went into his play pen while the grown-ups sipped on cocktails and fresh fruit cut out into dog bone shapes.
This was definitely one of my most strangest Saturdays.
Yet I have no idea if I should be more excited about the dog stamp in the goody bag or this cream sauce.
It’s a tough choice, guys.
Chicken Florentine with White Wine Cream Sauce
Juicy chicken breasts topped with fresh spinach, tomatoes and a creamy white sauce that is AH-MAZING!
Ingredients
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ cup diced shallots
- 1 pound baby spinach
- 1 cup white wine*
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¼ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
- 1 Roma tomato, diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Working one at a time, dredge chicken in flour.
- Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add chicken and cook, flipping once, until cooked through, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Set aside and keep warm.
- Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Add garlic and shallots, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in spinach until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes.
- Stir in wine and cook, stirring occasionally, until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
- Gradually whisk in heavy cream, sour cream and Parmesan until slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Serve chicken immediately topped with spinach mixture, garnished with tomato and parsley, if desired.

Made this for a dinner party of 10 people with creamy mashed potatoes and veggies on the side. It was a huge crowd pleaser! Not only was delicious, but the presentation was amazing! I have made so many of your recipes and they always come out way too amazing!! Thank you!
Is there a specific white wine that you recommend for this recipe?
I recommend a dry white wine such as pinot grigio, sauvignon blanc, or chardonnay.
Made this last night. With a few changes:
1. Gluten free flour (my GF has a gluten sensitivity).
2. Didn’t have shallots and didn’t find out until later that I could have used white onions as a substitute.
3. Threw in some diced mushrooms to the sauce just for the heck of it.
Excellent!!!! Thank you!!!!
I try many of the recipes from Dam Delicious. This one is fabulous! Will make the sauce to use with other dishes.
This looks AMAZING! Definitely a chicken recipe to impress your loved ones!

I made this with the kids last night and it was exquisite, thank you!
It would help to mention in the recipe to flatten the breasts to an even thickness.
Omg yum, these look sooo delicious, I remember cooking Florentine very similar to this in my culinary school (:
Made this tonight. What a fabulous dinner!!!!! Amazing!!!
Wow, that looks wonderful. Simple cream sauces add so much flavor. I need one in my weekly menu every now and then. Trying to beat the summer heat with you, and the smoke from the north side of the Valley. Thanks for sharing another colorful dish, you make it look so easy.
Made this for dinner during the week and it was wonderful. A hit with my men! My son even said, “Finally a good use for spinach.” =D
