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.

- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Steps:
- 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. Add the chicken and cook until brown, about 5 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep it warm.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the same skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and saute until the shallots are translucent, stirring to scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the skillet, about 1 minute. Add the wine. Increase the heat to medium-high and boil until the liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the cream and boil until the sauce reduces by half, stirring often, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley. Season the sauce, to taste, with salt and pepper. Add the chicken and any accumulated juices to the sauce, and turn the chicken to coat in the sauce.
- Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in another large skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and saute until heated through. Season the spinach, to taste, with salt and pepper. Arrange the spinach over a platter. Place the chicken atop the spinach. Pour the sauce over and serve.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

- Beat eggs.
- Dip breast in egg mixture and then roll in breadcrumbs.
- Place in a baking dish.
- Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour.
- Serve.
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
- If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can check if the chicken is cooked by piercing it with a knife. The juices should run clear, not pink.
- To prevent the chicken breasts from drying out, don't overcook them. Once they are cooked through, remove them from the oven immediately.
- If you want a crispy crust on the chicken breasts, broil them for a few minutes at the end of the cooking time.
- To make the Florentine sauce, use fresh basil leaves. If you don't have fresh basil, you can use dried basil, but it won't have as much flavor.
- You can also add other vegetables to the Florentine sauce, such as spinach, artichoke hearts, or mushrooms.
Conclusion:
Florentine Basil Stuffed Chicken Breasts is a flavorful and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion.
