Cooking Tips

• Make sure to brown the chicken well before removing it from the skillet. This will add flavor to the dish.
• Use fresh thyme for the best flavor. If you don't have fresh thyme, you can substitute with dried thyme, but use half the amount.
• Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and color.
• If the sauce becomes too thick, you can thin it out with a little more chicken broth or cream.

Storage and Serving

• Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the dish in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of chicken broth or cream to prevent it from drying out.
• Serve the creamy chicken mushroom Florentine with a side of crusty bread or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
