Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground chicken
  • 8 ounces baby bella mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 medium onion, chopped approximately 1/2 cup
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic, sautéing until the onion becomes translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground chicken to the skillet. Cook the chicken, breaking it apart with a spatula, until it's no longer pink, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  • Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet with the chicken. Cook until the mushrooms have softened and browned, about 5 minutes.
  • Lower the heat to medium. Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Allow the mixture to simmer gently for 5 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  • Gradually add the spinach, stirring until it wilts and becomes incorporated into the sauce, about 2-3 minutes.
  • Sprinkle the Parmesan cheese over the mixture, stirring until the cheese is melted and the sauce becomes creamy.
  • Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Creamy Ground Chicken Mushroom Florentine.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, allow the Florentine to simmer for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until it reaches your desired consistency.
If you prefer a less creamy texture, reduce the amount of heavy cream and compensate with additional chicken broth.
This dish can be stored in an airtight container and refrigerated for up to 3 days, making it an excellent option for meal prep.
