Chicken Florentine

Chicken breasts topped with spinach, a tomato-wine sauce, and mozzarella cheese. Serve with fettuccine and a nice salad. update: i personally think this is much, much better with fresh spinach as the frozen spinach tends to be a bit bitter. I also like to stir it in a bit rather than have it all in a layer across top.

Steps

Preheat oven to 375f.
On sheet of waxed paper , combine flour , salt and pepper.
Toss chicken cutlets in mixture to coat.
In medium skillet over medium heat , warm 1 tablespoon oil.
Brown chicken about 5 minute son each side.
Remove to a 2 1 / 2 quart casserole dish lightly coated with cooking spray.
Add remaining 1 / 2 tablespoon oil to the skillet.
Add onion and garlic and saut until tender , about 5 minutes.
Add tomato sauce , wine and basil.
Simmer for 2 minutes.
Taste for seasonings and add more salt if necessary.
Spread cooked spinach on top of chicken.
Pour tomato sauce mixture around chicken , lifting edges to allow the sauce to flow underneath.
Sprinkle with cheese.
Bake , uncovered , until chicken is no longer pink in the center , about 35 minutes.
