This Easy Chicken Florentine Recipe Is The Perfect Dinner Idea

I took this creamy chicken florentine recipe up a notch by using Philadelphia Cooking Cream in Savory Garlic. Unfortunately the cooking creams are no longer available, BUT I’ve altered the recipe to include the ingredients to create your own cooking cream.

This recipe turned out much better than I anticipated.

When I first opened the Savory Garlic cooking cream it smelled overwhelmingly of garlic and I questioned how it would taste when I cooked with it. Since the cooking cream is no longer available you can control how much or how little garlic you have in the recipe.

I’m including a 1/2 teaspoon in the recipe, but you can add more if you’d like. Honestly, we like garlic so I tend to be a little heavy handed with the garlic powder.

The recipe I was using for inspiration did not include wine & mushrooms. I haven’t tried cooking mushrooms down in wine before and thought it might be very tasty in this recipe. Turns out I was right.

One of the best things about this recipe is that it is chuck full of all kinds of delicious goodness plus from start to finish it only took me 25 minutes.

I adore recipes that are quick and easy to make and this one does not disappoint.

Perfect for families on the go. This is definitely a recipe I will be making again.
