CRISPY MOZZARELLA CHICKEN WITH GARLIC SPINACH
Another great recipe from the people at Kraft Foods which I have changed up to suit my tastes. I didn't want to use Shake N Bake so I substituted Panko. Photo: www.kraftrecipes.com

Steps:
- 1. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4-inch thickness.

- 3. Top the chicken with mozzarella cheese and continue baking an additional 5 minutes or until chicken is done and cheese is melted.
- 4. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a Dutch oven or deep skillet on medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir for 1 minute. Add half the spinach; cook 1 minute or just until spinach starts to wilt, turning constantly with tongs. Add remaining spinach; cook 1 minute or just until it wilts, turning occasionally.
- 5. Serve chicken with spinach mixture.
CRISPY CHICKEN WITH CREAMED SPINACH GRAVY
This dish is a play on chicken fried steak. Instead of beef, a chicken breast is lightly battered with egg, then fried and smothered with a creamed spinach gravy.

Steps:
- Place a baking sheet on the middle oven rack; preheat to 200˚ F. Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or heavy skillet until 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt and pepper.
- Put 1 cup flour on a plate. Beat the eggs in shallow bowl. Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, then add the vegetable oil. Coat 2 chicken breasts in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs. Carefully add to the skillet and cook until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes per side (reduce the heat slightly if the chicken is browning too quickly). Remove the chicken to the hot pan in the oven. Repeat with the remaining 2 chicken breasts.
- Discard the oil and wipe out the skillet. Add the butter and melt over medium-high heat. Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup flour; cook, whisking, until the mixture is bubbling but not browning, 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in the milk, then the chicken broth until smooth. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened, 4 to 5 minutes. Stir in the spinach and Parmesan and cook until heated through and well combined, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the lemon zest and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper. Serve over the chicken.
