Chicken Florentine In A White Wine Sauce

An easy meal to impress guests. Very savoury and heavy on the garlic. I wooed my wife with this one.

Steps

Saut the garlic in 2-3 tablespoons butter in a frying pan until softened.
Add spinach and cook , stirring frequently until spinach is softened and quite shrunken.
Remove from heat and allow to cool.
Pound breasts flat.
And lightly salt them.
Roll spinach / garlic mixture up in the breasts then lightly coat them in crumbs.
Place seam side down in a deep baking dish.
Bake uncovered in a 300 degree oven while you make the sauce.
Sauce:melt a lot of butter in the same frying pan the spinach was sauted inches add the remaining garlic and saut.
Whisk in sufficient flour to make a thick rouxdo not brown the roux ! whisk in the wine and bring to boil whisking constantly.
After the alcohol has had a chance to evaporate and as the sauce thickens , add sugar to taste but the sauce should remain slightly bitter as it will lose this bitterness in the oven.
Once thickened , pour the sauce over the chicken breasts.
Bake the whole thing , uncovered in a 350 degree oven until you want to .
