AUTHENTIC GREEK CHICKEN
FLORENTINE
 
8 chicken breasts, flattened & trimmed
2-3 pkgs. frozen spinach leaves
1 bunch scallions
1 med. onion
Salt, pepper, dill, touch of oregano, olive oil

Chop spinach in 1 inch squares. Chop scallions to 1/4 inch pieces. Chop onions into small pieces.

Take deep pot - add 2-3 teaspoons olive oil. Heat and add scallions and onions. Saute about 5 minutes. Drain spinach and add to above. Mix until it thickens. If too thick, add a little water (up to 1/2 cup). Add salt and pepper to taste. Add scant teaspoon of dill and cook 10-15 minutes, stirring constantly. Let cool 15 minutes.

Add 3 eggs and mix until eggs are well blended. Add 1/2 cup Feta cheese (crumble into mixture). Mix well and let cool.

Saute chicken breasts lightly in a little oil. Put in shallow baking pan and cover each breast with a mound of spinach mixture. Cover with second breast. Bake in 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes. Remove from oven and top generously with Mozzarella cheese. Return to oven at 500 degrees for about 5 minutes (until cheese is melted). Garnish.

Serve with rice, oven browned potatoes or baked potatoes. Use the juice from pan to pour over chicken.
