How to Make Curried Chicken Florentine

  1. Squeeze the juice of one lemon over 4 (6-ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Let them marinate at room temperature for 15-20 minutes.
  2. Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  3. Season chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper. Cook until lightly browned on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
  4. Spread 10 ounces of fresh spinach (about 5 cups, roughly chopped) evenly in the bottom of a 9x13 inch casserole dish.
  5. Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese over the spinach.
  6. Arrange the browned chicken breasts on top of the cheese.
  7. In a medium bowl, whisk together 10.75 ounces (about 1 1/4 cups) of cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, the juice of one lemon, and 2 tablespoons of curry powder. Adjust curry powder to taste.
  8. Pour the sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
  9. Bake in a preheated 350°F (175°C) oven for 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
  10. Serve immediately over rice. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
