     Title: Chicken Florentine
Categories: Poultry, Cheese, Wine, Herbs, Greens
     Yield: 4 servings

   1/4 c  A-P flour
   1/4 c  Grated Parmesan; more for
          - serving
          Salt & black pepper
     4    Thin-cut boned, skinned
          - chicken breasts (1 lb)
     1 tb Olive oil
     4 tb Butter
     1 md Shallot; minced
     2 cl Garlic; minced
   1/2 c  Dry white wine
   1/2 c  Chicken broth
     1 ts Dried basil
     1 ts Dried oregano
   1/2 c  Heavy cream
     2 oz Cream cheese; room temp
     2 c  (packed) baby spinach (3
          - oz)

 On a plate, mix together the flour, Parmesan and 1
 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken
 breast in the mixture, evenly coating on both sides.

 Heat a large pan over medium. Add olive oil and 2
 tablespoons of butter to the pan and melt to combine.
 Add the chicken and cook until golden brown (but not
 cooked through), about 4 minutes on each side. Remove
 chicken from pan and set aside.

 Add remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the pan and let
 it melt. Add shallot, garlic and a pinch of salt and
 cook, stirring until the shallot is softened and the
 garlic is aromatic, about 2 minutes.

 Add wine, broth, basil and oregano, and stir, scraping
 the browned bits from the bottom of the pan, until the
 liquid has reduced by about half, 3 to 4 minutes. Add
 the heavy cream and cream cheese and stir, allowing the
 cream cheese to soften and melt, until a thick sauce
 forms, about 6 minutes. Add baby spinach and stir until
 it is folded into the cream sauce and the spinach is
 beginning to wilt, about 1 minute.

 Return the chicken breasts to the pan and simmer until
 the chicken is cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove
 from heat and serve immediately with freshly grated
 Parmesan on top.
