Recipe: Chicken Florentine

If you haven't noticed by the recipes I post, I am a bit of a pasta-aholic.

Which is part of the reason that I am on a diet...

So when I find a healthy pasta recipe, I get a little giddy inside!

Today, I've got a chicken Florentine pasta for you...and it is scrumptious!
And even better...only 332 calories per serving!
You can find the original recipe here.
The original recipe has the chicken grilled, but I was short on time, so I cooked it on the stove.

Chicken Florentine

• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp black pepper
• cooking spray
• 8 ounces uncooked linguine
• 2 Tbsp. canola oil
• 3 Tbsp. all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp. chopped garlic
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1 cup fat free, low sodium chicken broth
• 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 cups fresh spinach leaves

Season chicken with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp pepper. Cook chicken over medium heat until cooked through. Once cooked, cut chicken into strips. Cook pasta according to package directions. When cooked, drain and keep warm. In a large, non-stick skillet, heat oil. Add flour and garlic and cook until garlic is browned, stirring constantly. Whisk in milk and broth and simmer until thickened. Add cheese and stir until melted. Add remaining salt, pepper and spinach and stir until spinach wilts. Remove from heat. Add pasta and chicken - toss well to coat. Enjoy!
