Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking dish or sheet with parchment paper.
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Then, add the fresh spinach and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
Pour the heavy cream into the skillet and stir in the Parmesan cheese. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, then remove from heat.
Place the seared chicken breasts on the prepared baking dish. Spoon the spinach and cream mixture evenly over each piece.
Top each chicken breast with shredded mozzarella cheese, followed by tomato slices. Sprinkle with Italian seasoning and optional red pepper flakes.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Chicken Pizza Florentine warm with a side of your choice, such as a fresh salad or garlic bread.
