I am a HUGE fan of Paula Deen such a fan I trucked along with my daughter (1.5 year old at the time) to wait in a gazillion people long line to get a book signed by her. Â Ultimately I wasn’t going to be able to get the book signed because she was only there for a certain amount of time. Â So me being me marched up to hand my camera to a manager and they took a picture of her for me. Â Of course I marched myself up to her sweet husband and got a picture with him too. Â She cooks all things Southern, the more butter the better…that should be a phrase of life really!!! Â Today I am sharing a recipe I love from her The Lady and Sons, Too cookbook. Well I love pretty much all the recipes in there but this is the one I am sharing today.
Chicken Florentine
Ingredients:
- Two 10 ounce packages frozen spinach (or chopped broccoli)
- Two 10 & 3/4 ounce cans cream of mushroom soup
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 cup grated sharp cheddar cheese
- 1/4 cup white wine or sherry
- 1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon curry powder
- Salt & Pepper
- 6 cooked chicken breast halves, shredded
- 1/2 cup grated parmesan
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
Instructions:
- Cook & drain spinach; set aside
- In a large bowl, mix together the soup, mayonnaise, sour cream, cheddar cheese, wine, lemon juice, curry powder and salt/pepper to taste.
- Spread the chicken in a greased 13 x 9 inch casserole.
- Cover chicken with spinach, then pour the soup mixture over the spinach.
- Combine parmesan and breadcrumbs. Â Sprinkle over the casserole.
- Bake at 350° for 30 minutes
Now as you can tell from the ingredients this is the true epitome of a southern meal.  I mean come on mayo, sour cream, cheese.  It doesn’t get much more southern than that….well unless you add in the drink choice of a true southerner, sweet tea!  Paula Deen’s recipes are made for taste and trust me your taste buds will thank you.
Now go and get your cook on. Â Bye Y’all!
