Chicken Breast Florentine with Whole Wheat Angel Hair and Marinara

My older sister shares my love for cooking and good food. Anytime she has an unbeatable recipe that she really loves, she passes it on to me. And I try it, because I totally trust her and have loved everything she sends my way. This is a recipe she shared with me a couple of years ago that I make all the time. I have made it several times when we have had guests for dinner, just because it is really a crowd pleaser. I can't remember where my sister got the recipe. She just emailed it to me and I have been making it ever since. I have made it so many times that I don't even measure the ingredients anymore. I know what it is supposed to look like, so I just proceed. quick sidenote- do you do that with recipes that you know really well? or do you always measure, no matter what?
Back to the recipe. I usually use chicken tenders or thinly sliced chicken breast because that makes it go even faster, but if you have to take the time to pound some chicken breast, it will be worth it. I usually serve green beans and salad with this dinner, but any veggie would be good. I just really like green ones.
