Why you'll love it

Are you a fan of Italian recipes? What about creamy sauces and rich flavors? If so, then this chicken Florentine recipe is something you will love!

This recipe tastes just like a dish prepared by a 5-star chef - but you can make it at home. I prefer eating meals that I prepare because I know exactly what's in them.

This chicken Florentine recipe is so easy to make that you won't have any problems making a scrumptious dinner, even if you are a beginner cook.

Even better, this chicken florentine is a casserole, and casseroles are simple to prepare. They can easily be thrown together on the spur of the moment as long as you have the basic ingredients.

Ingredients

You only need to buy five ingredients for this chicken Florentine casserole recipe, but you may already have everything in your fridge.

ingredients for chicken florentine casserole.

Chicken breasts

In order to make a chicken Florentine bake, you obviously need a chicken breast or two.

I ended up poaching some chicken breasts. But, you can simply use leftover seared chicken in this casserole.

It is best to use boneless skinless chicken breasts.

Spinach

Fresh spinach is one of the best vegetables to eat on the keto diet, and luckily, this leafy green veggie is a staple in chicken florentine.

Fresh baby spinach is best, but you can also use frozen spinach. Just remember that frozen spinach will have a different texture than fresh.

I prefer to use fresh spinach because it has a brighter flavor!

Mayonnaise

The sauce is made with sour cream and mayonnaise. I used store-bought mayo. However, homemade is a great option if you have the time to make your own.

Parmesan cheese

You'll find that I use parmesan cheese in many of my favorite keto recipes. This is because it gives the recipes a fantastic earthy and nutty undertone.

Sour cream

A lot of recipes use condensed cream of mushroom soup as the base for the sauce. We know that this adds unnecessary carbs to the dish! So instead, use full-fat sour cream.

Please note: Check out the recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients used to make this low-carb recipe.

Tips

  • Bake uncovered. If your stove runs hot, cover the chicken Florentine casserole with foil to prevent the top from burning.
  • Shred parmesan cheese at home. If you buy pre-shredded parmesan cheese, it will have anti-caking ingredients and hidden carbs in it.
  • Watch it closely. Since the chicken is already cooked, you only need to heat this up until it is bubbly and hot. Watch it closely, so it doesn't burn.

Instructions

Here's how to make homemade chicken florentine. You might be surprised at just how simple this is.

Cook the chicken

The very first step is to cook the chicken breasts. I poached mine, but you can pan-sear them until they are golden brown or even use the air fryer for cooking them.

You can poach the chicken in some water or some chicken broth. Chicken stock works great too!

Make the sauce

Mix the grated parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream together in a small mixing bowl.

Arrange the casserole

Place the baby spinach and the cooked chicken breasts in the bottom of the casserole dish. Spread the cheese mixture on top.

Bake the casserole

Bake the chicken Florentine casserole in the oven for about 35 minutes or until the edges are browned.

️ Serving suggestions

The casserole was enough to feed me for two large double-serving dinners and one single-serving lunch. It's really easy to put together an entire meal with this Florentine chicken recipe.

Serve with a side of cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower!

This is also a great recipe to use in your meal prep. Store it in the refrigerator with your favorite broccoli and bacon salad. You can even make some keto dinner rolls to serve on the side.

Variations

I'm a big fan of easy casserole dishes like this keto chicken Florentine casserole. There are quite a few different changes you can make to this recipe. Here are some of the simplest ones.

  • Save yourself and time and use low-carb rotisserie chicken or any cooked shredded chicken in this casserole.
  • Feel free to be creative with the types of cheese you use whenever you make easy keto recipes like this one.
  • Rather than use all parmesan cheese for the topping, a mix of different types of cheese would be a nice change. Asiago cheese would taste deliciously mixed in.
  • For those who don't care for mayonnaise, you could make the sauce using a thickened heavy cream instead.
  • You may want to change up the seasoning to suit your own taste. Adding some bacon would make this dish a bit more delicious.
  • Other ideas to add to this basic chicken Florentine recipe are mushrooms and mozzarella cheese.
  • Or, replace the mayonnaise and sour cream with heavy cream and cream cheese and make it a keto chicken florentine soup.

FAQs

Before we get to the printable recipe card, here are some questions people often ask about how to make this keto Florentine chicken.

Are chicken breasts or chicken thighs better for creamy chicken Florentine?

You can use either one, as long as they are boneless and skinless. The chicken breasts will not dry out in the oven because they are covered in the creamy sauce.

What is the safe cooking temperature of chicken?

When using a meat thermometer, the internal temperature should be at least 165°F.

How do you store leftovers from this chicken recipe?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days.

Is chicken Florentine ok to eat on the ketogenic diet?

Yes, all of the ingredients are keto-friendly. Baby spinach, cooked chicken, and the creamy sauce are all low-carb.

    The recipe calls for 2 boneless chicken breast halves. Do you have any idea of the weight? Depending on where I buy my chicken, the breasts range from 6 oz. to 1 lb. each. Needless to say, this range can really affect the results!

    This casserole was quite good. My husband, who suggested low carb, was very satisfied with it. I did add salt, pepper, and garlic powder so it wouldn't be bland.
    I needed a lot of food, so I doubled the amounts of chicken and spinach, and used 1.5 times mayo and cheese, and one cup of sour cream. That was plenty. I'm afraid that if I doubled the sauce, it would have drowned the chicken and spinach.
    Minor nitpick: Whoever decided prep time would be 10 minutes must have a sous chef, or just didn't include the time needed to cook the chicken and thaw and drain frozen spinach.
    It took me more like 30 minutes.

      Thanks for the feedback on prep time. It typically takes about ten minutes to poach the chicken so that cook time has been accounted for in the cooking time.

    This was delicious! I'm fairly new to Keto and seem to pick recipes that, well, that I don't like. But this is excellent! And I'll be making it regularly, especially when there are lots of turkey leftovers! I added sliced mushrooms, used heavy cream instead of mayonnaise and sprinkled grated mozzarella cheese on top for the last 10 minutes.
    My husband loved it! Thank you for restoring my commitment to eating Keto.

    This is meant as a helpful critique from a new reader. You say this casserole fed you for three meals, yet you've listed the serving size as eight. It seems like the kind of thing I expect from a sneaky food manufacturer to make something look healthier than it is. Yes, I can figure out the total calories and carbs for the amount I eat, but if you only got three servings out of it, stretching the servings out almost three times is unrealistic- and a little bit unfair.

        It takes about 6 hours on low or 4 hours on high if you are slow cooking. You'd have to put the crock under the broiler if you want to brown the top, though.

    What size pan did you use?

      The bigger the better so it's a thin layer. A 9x13 can be used but you may want to cook longer.

    Awesome. I think I'm making this tomorrow, although I'm thinking I'm going to be lazy and buy a precooked rotisserie chicken (I can't stand the smell of boiled chicken, especially the breast) and use fresh spinach (don't care for frozen). And, is the parmesan cheese, fresh grated or the canned stuff??

      I used the canned parmesan, but I bet the fresh grated may taste better.

      I love this recipe!!! We also opt for the rotisserie chicken from SAMs and it is so flavorful. We also have tried it with kale and top with cheddar cheese. Delicious!

        Using a rotisserie chicken really saves time. I'll have to try with kale and cheddar. The key is to cook the casserole until it's nice a brown. Baking in a large dish so it's thin seems to help.

      Boiling chicken tastes better when you add lemon rinds or a few slices of lemon and onion rings along with salt and pepper. It gives the chicken lots of flavor. Makes excellent chicken salad

    Hi. This sounds really good, BUT...I really detest mayonnaise.
    I was thinking maybe some creamy low carb dressing as a substitute (not Ranch as I don't like that either).
    What about a Caesar or creamy feta?
    And maybe add some ricotta cheese too? I know it might raise the carb count a little.
    And I think I will use leftover grilled chicken.
    This and a salad and dinner is done!

      Kimberly, there are several recipes for mayonnaise made with coconut oil that you may want to try instead. You could season the taste to your liking. Otherwise a creamy low carb dressing should work fine.

    I just put a whole bunch of chicken and the other ingredients into the crock pot. I hope it turns out well.! I'll eat it no matter what. Thanks for a great recipe!

    This sounds delish and I am wondering if fresh spinach work? I don't do much cooking but I am starting to make more dishes to keep myself healthy :o)

      Either fresh or frozen spinach can be used. I prefer frozen chopped spinach so I don’t have to chop fresh. However, fresh likely tastes better.

    This sounds nice, easy and tasty - not always easy to achieve in a low carb dish. I will make this for sure!
