If you want to make it spicy...add a can of Rotelle tomatoes! This was a Chicken Florentine recipe that I added my own extras to.

  • 1 cup zucchini sliced (1/2 inch and halved)

How To Make kym's chicken and veggie florentine stew

  • Step 1
    Heat the oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until it's well browned on all sides. Remove the chicken from the saucepan and set aside. (I have a large saucepan that will hold all the ingredients above. You can make the recipe in smaller portion or cook in batches) I like to season my chicken a little with special spices...you don't have to season or you can even use a little salt and pepper...or have fun with it.
  • Step 2
    Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and cook and stir for 2 minutes. Stir the garlic, tomato paste, bell peppers, mushrooms, squash, and spices in the saucepot and cook for 2 minutes.
  • Step 3
    Stir in the stock and wine, heat to a boil. Return the chicken to the saucepan. Reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Step 4
    Stir in the spinach and cheese. (I layer them both over the top) Cover and cook for 10 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
