Garlic chicken with creamy sauce & spinach image

My kids eat this pretty well, and I had a friend over for dinner who just loved it! It's definitely a favorite meal for when I have company! The time is a rough estimate, I am a slow cook in a nearly microscopic kitchen with limited resources, so everything takes me longer. ;)

1 tsp pepper
3/4 c flour
5 Tbsp coconut/olive oil;divided
