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.
LEMON AND GARLIC CHICKEN WITH SPICED SPINACH
This is a heavenly combination; I'm not sure what I like best, the subtly spiced spinach or the chicken. They make a great combo. When you add the rinsed spinach to the pan after cooking the chicken it will wilt in the liquid left on the leaves after washing, and it will deglaze the pan at the same time.

Steps:
- Stir together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, rosemary, and salt and pepper in a large bowl. Cut each chicken breast into 2 equal pieces (3 if they are 12 ounces or more) and place in the bowl. Stir together and refrigerate 15 to 30 minutes.
- Combine ground allspice, coriander or cumin, and cinnamon in a small bowl or ramekin and set aside.
- Remove chicken from the marinade and pat dry (discard marinade). Place two sheets of plastic wrap (1 large sheet if you have extra-wide wrap) on your work surface, overlapping slightly, to make 1 wide sheet, and brush lightly with olive oil. Place a piece of chicken in the middle of plastic sheet and brush lightly with oil. Cover the chicken with another wide layer of plastic wrap. Working from the center to the outside, pound chicken breast with the flat side of a meat tenderizer until about 1/4 inch thick. (Don't pound too hard or you'll tear the meat. If that happens it won't be the end of the world, you'll just have a few pieces to cook.) Repeat with the remaining chicken breast pieces.
- Season pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper on one side only. Dredge lightly in the flour (you won't use all of it).
- Turn oven on low. Heat a wide, heavy skillet over high heat and add the oil. When oil is hot, place one or two pieces of chicken in the pan - however many will fit without crowding the pan. Cook for for 1 1/2 minutes until bottom is browned in spots. Turn over and brown on other side, about 1 1/2 minutes. (Do not overcook or chicken will be dry.) Transfer to a platter or sheet pan and keep warm in the oven. If there is more than a tablespoon of fat in the pan, pour some (but not all) of it off into a jar or bowl.
- Turn burner heat down to medium. Add ground spices to the pan and when they begin to sizzle add spinach and salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon and deglazing the bottom of the pan with the liquid that comes off the spinach, until spinach wilts, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove to a platter or to plates and serve with the chicken.

LEMON CHICKEN WITH SAUTEED SPINACH
This is a healthier and simpler version of one of my favorite recipes, chicken piccata. Usually I eat this dish with rice pilaf, but when I've overindulged, I save calories by skipping the breading and serving it on spinach. Even though I've never been a big spinach fan, it's yummy when you mix it with the lemon sauce.

Steps:
- Cut each chicken breast in half lengthwise and season with salt and pepper. Coat a large sauté pan with cooking spray and place over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5 minutes on each side, or until lightly browned.
- Combine the bouillon and cornstarch in a small bowl and slowly stir in the water until smooth. (If you put all the water in at once, the cornstarch will get lumpy.) Pour the mixture into the pan and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until the mixture starts to thicken. Add the lemon juice and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until the sauce just begins to boil.
- Meanwhile, place about 1/2 inch of water in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Add the spinach and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes, or until hot. (Alternatively, if you have a microwave, place the spinach in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high heat for 5 minutes, or until hot. Carefully remove the plastic wrap.) Press with the back of a spoon and drain off the water.
- Divide the spinach between four plates, arrange the chicken over the spinach, and top with the sauce. Serve immediately.
- I couldn't believe that this dish clocked in at an incredibly low 175 calories per serving. If you don't think it will be filling enough for you, add a cup of cooked rice and it's still only 335 calories. Or double the amount of chicken and it's only 290 calories. I've always loved this dish, but now I like it even better!
