FLORENTINE STUFFED CHICKEN
Bone-in chicken breasts stuffed with spinach, cheese and onion and baked until tender. This is a simple recipe that I cooked up myself. It is, however, based on some pretty standard Greek/Italian dishes. Everyone loves this and it can be wonderful for company - even people who don't usually like spinach find that they like this dish! Serve with your favorite shaped pasta, if desired.

- Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken in the flour to coat lightly. Shake off any excess flour. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a heavy large skillet over medium heat.

Florentine refers to the spinach which is added to this recipe. It is a welcome addition, adding color and pizzazz. You could use 3 cups chopped fresh spinach instead of the frozen, if you wish. Recipe is from the Stove-Top people.
