Ninja Foodi Chicken Florentine

olive oil

chicken breasts

mushrooms (white-sliced)

onion (diced)

butter (salted)

flour (all purpose)

garlic (minced)

chicken broth

milk (can use heavy cream instead)

salt

pepper

spinach (fresh-roughly

Parmesan cheese (grated)

saute

Turn Ninja Foodi on saute-hi.  Once the Ninja Foodi is hot, pour in olive oil and onions.  Saute for 3-4 minutes until onions are tender and translucent.

season

Season chicken breast tenders with salt and pepper and then add to the Ninja Foodi and saute for 3-4 minutes.  You want to brown the chicken without cooking it completely.  Be sure to flip the chicken so that all sides brown.  As you are flipping the chicken, be sure to scrape off any cooked on chicken bits from the bottom of the pot with your silicone spatula or silicone tongs.  Don’t use metal to scrape the pot or it might scratch.

garlic

Add garlic and mushrooms and then stir.  Pour in chicken broth.

pressure cook

Close the pressure cook lid and move valve to the “seal” position.  Pressure cook on high for 5 minutes.  Once timer beeps, slow release pressure for 5 minutes and then move seal to “vent” position and remove remaining pressure.  Open lid.

Turn Ninja Foodi on saute-high.  Combine milk and flour in a mason jar or small cup to create a slurry.  Make sure that it is mixed together thoroughly and there are no lumps.  Pour into Ninja Foodi and stir.

stir

Add butter and parmesan cheese to the Ninja Foodi and stir until well combined.  Let simmer for 2-3 minutes.

spinach

Add the fresh spinach to the Ninja Foodi and stir until spinach has wilted and combined with all ingredients.

serve

Serve with your choice of pasta or potatoes.  Enjoy!

Ninja Foodi Chicken

chicken (not frozen

garlic (peeled and quartered)

garlic powder

paprika

thyme

butter

onion

lemon

all purpose flour

water

prepare chicken

Remove chicken from the packaging.  Remove giblets from chicken and rinse chicken inside and outside and pat dry.  If chicken legs are not already tied together, use twine or string to tie them together. Tying the chicken legs together is OPTIONAL, but helps the chicken stay together when cooking.

make compound butter

Create compound butter by combining the salt, pepper, garlic powder, paprika, Old Bay,  thyme, and 1/2 cup (8 tablespoons) of butter that has been softened.  Combine well.  

add compound butter

With the chicken breast side up, gently separate the skin from the meat by carefully inserting your fingers in between the skin and the meat. Be careful not to tear the skin, you don’t want holes in the skin.  It’s easier if you start at the bottom of the breast in between the legs.  Insert half of the compound butter in between the skin and the breast.  

coat chicken

Use the remaining compound butter to cover the outside of the chicken.

fill chicken

Insert onion, half of the garlic, and half of the lemon slices inside the chicken.

add broth

Make sure that your insert pan is inside the Ninja Foodi and then pour in the chicken broth and add the remaining garlic and lemon to the pot.

cook chicken

Place the chicken into the crisping basket, make sure the chicken is breast side up. Put crisping basket into Ninja Foodi. Put the pressure cooker lid on, make sure the valve is on in the “seal” position, and pressure cook for 22 minutes on high. Once the timer stops, natural release pressure for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, quick-release remaining pressure. Carefully open the pressure cooker lid.  Do not remove the liquid from the pot.  This liquid will be used to make the gravy.  Close the crisping lid and select air crisp at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Lift the lid every couple minutes to check to see how crisp the skin is.  It may not take the entire 10 minutes to crisp up.   Once the chicken has reached the desired crispness, carefully remove the chicken and crisping basket from Ninja Foodi using silicone mits.  Using a ladle, remove the lemon and large garlic chunks from the remaining liquid.

make gravy

To make the gravy, turn the Ninja Foodi on saute and add the remaining butter.  Make a slurry for your gravy by combining 1/4 cup flour with 1/4 cup water.  I like to shake these together in a small mason jar.   Slowly pour in the slurry and use a silicone whisk to combine and thicken the gravy.  Continue to stir until gravy has reached the desired consistency-about 5 minutes.  

slice chicken

Slice chicken and serve with gravy.  Enjoy!!
