How to Make My Version Of Olive Garden Stuffed Chicken Florentine

  1. Butterfly each chicken breast: Cut horizontally almost all the way through, creating a pocket.
  2. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  3. In a bowl, combine mozzarella, Parmesan, ricotta, sour cream, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper.
  4. Stir in 2 tablespoons of drained sun-dried tomatoes.
  5. Spoon the cheese mixture evenly into the chicken breasts.
  6. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, ensuring it's fully coated.
  7. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until lightly browned.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  9. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions.
  10. While the chicken bakes, prepare the sauce: In a separate saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup flour and 1/4 cup olive oil until smooth.
  11. Gradually whisk in half and half and chicken broth until smooth and thickened.
  12. In a food processor or blender, pulse the remaining 2 tablespoons of sun-dried tomatoes until finely chopped. Add to the sauce and simmer for a few minutes, stirring occasionally.
  13. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
  14. To serve: Place cooked pasta on a plate. Top with sun-dried tomato sauce. Arrange the chicken breast on top of the pasta.
  15. Garnish with chopped Roma tomatoes and spinach.
  16. Serve immediately with extra grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
