Chicken Florentine and Garlic Bread

Chicken Florentine

1/4 c white wine
1 tsp minced garlic
10 oz fresh baby spinach
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup (look for the lower fat healthy variety)
1 tbsp Italian seasoning
1/2 c half and half or 2% if that's what you have on hand
1/2 c grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 c bacon bits
1 c shredded mozzarella cheese
1 package angel hair pasta

Wilt spinach with wine and garlic in a skillet over medium heat.  Place in 8x8 baking dish.

Mix the cream of mushroom, Italian seasoning, half and half and Parmesan cheese.

Place the chicken breasts on spinach.  Cover with cream of mushroom mix.  Sprinkle bacon bits on top.    Bake at 350 degrees F for 25 minutes.  Top with 1 c mozzarella and bake 10 minutes more.  Serve over angel hair pasta.

Garlic Bread

One way we love to do garlic bread is with a loaf of french bread.  Cut the bread in half length-wise.  Spread on the butter, sprinkle with garlic salt and top it off with some dried parsley.  Put the halves together in foil and warm in oven (350 degrees for 8 minutes or so).  Cut across the loaf to make easy pieces to share.
