Directions
Wash spinach leaves and blanch in boiling water for 10 seconds.
Drain. Heat oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat, add garlic and cook until fragrant, then add spinach and cook, stirring, for 3 minutes. REmove spinach from pan and keep warm. Rinse chicken, then pound to ½-inch thickness. Heat the same sauté pan over medium heat until a light haze forms from the oil; add more oil if needed. Stir salt and pepper to taste into flour and dredge the chicken breasts. Dip chicken inot the beaten eggs and fry chicken until cooked through and lightly browned on both sides, about 7 minutes total. While chicken is cooking, make the sauce. To make the sauce, melt the butter in a skillet over medium- high heat. Add the flour and cook stirring until it is dissolved and the mixture is a golden brown, about 3 minutes. Slowly stir in the chicken broth, then the lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste and cook until nicely thickened, about 2 minutes. To serve, arrange a bed of spinach on each plate, placing chicken breast on top and spooning sauce over all. Garnish with parsley and lemon slices.
