One of our Favorite Restaurants!

It's no secret that the Farm kitchen is one of our favorite places to eat!  You can always find a good snack in the overflowing snack drawer or frig.  Sunday afternoon we gathered for some much needed sister and mother time in the kitchen together.  Speaking of mothers, our dinner recipe is a family favorite passed on to us from our good friend (and second mother), Sandy E!   

Mom cooking it up in her kitchen!

Chicken Florentine
Chicken:
10-12 chicken breast halves (flattened)
1/2 stick butter (melted)
1 1/2 cups of Parmesan

Line a cookie sheet with foil, spray with Pam, dip chicken in butter then in Parmesean.  Layer on cookie sheet and broil 2-3 minutes (on one side only).  Now heat the oven to 375 and start on the creamed spinach. 

Creamed Spinach: 
3 oz melted butter
2-3 medium onion, chopped
12 oz mushrooms, chopped
2 10 oz packages chopped frozen spinach, cooked and drained
1 tsp salt
1 tsp soy sauce
1/2 tsp cracked pepper
2 T Parmesan
2-3 T bread crumbs
2 T mayonnaise
8 oz cream cheese

Creamed Spinach

Saute onions in butter until transparent.  Saute mushrooms and add spinach, salt, soy, and pepper.  Mix and turn off the heat.  Add Parmesan and breadcrumbs (depending on how soupy).  Add mayo and cream cheese.  Cook until cream cheese is mixed in completely.

Everyone knows that George loves chicken! 

Top the breasts with the spinach and sprinkle with Parmesan.  Bake at 375 for 30-35 minutes.  Cooking time may vary depending on how thin you made the chicken breasts.     
*If desired, you can top the creamed spinach with fresh lemon juice when serving*

Mangia!
