Sauté for a few minutes, until the chicken is seared on both sides, then remove and set aside.  It will finish cooking in the oven.  Add in the mushrooms and sauté until they have good color.

Substitutions for Low Carb Chicken Florentine

  • You can use fresh spinach, instead of frozen, if you prefer. Sauté it along with the mushrooms and follow the remaining steps of the recipe.
  • If you prefer chicken thighs, you can certainly use them instead of breasts.
  • Mascarpone cheese is a smooth and creamy ingredient in the casserole, but if you want, you can exchange it with cream cheese. Cream cheese has a more tart flavor, but it's a suitable substitute.
  • Though traditional Florentine uses parmesan cheese, you can use Asiago, Manchego or Romano cheese.

Hi there! My oven is broken atm, is it possible for me to skip the oven step? Could I just let the other cheese melt into it off of the burner?

Yes, but you want to first make sure the chicken is completely cooked through first. The recipe as is, doesn't call for the chicken to be fully cooked on the stovetop, because it continues cooking in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

No problem, you may have just overlooked it. There are 7 servings in this recipe, and that is noted in the recipe card itself, under "servings", just above the ingredients list. I hope that helps!
