Chicken Florentine Recipe

Prep: 20 min. Bake: 30 min.

Yield: 6-8 Servings

20 30 50

Ingredients

10 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
2 tablespoons honey
1 package (10 ounces) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
2 cups (8 ounces) shredded cheddar cheese
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1 egg
1/3 cup milk
1 cup dry bread crumbs
Oil for deep-fat frying

Directions

Pound chicken to 1/4-in. thickness; brush each with honey. Combine spinach and cheese; place about 2 tablespoons in the center of each chicken breast. Fold long sides over filling; fold ends up and secure with a toothpick. Place, seam side down, in a shallow pan. Cover and refrigerate for several hours.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, garlic salt and pepper. In another shallow bowl, beat egg and milk. Dredge chicken in flour mixture, dip in egg mixture and roll in bread crumbs.
Heat oil in a deep-fat fryer to 375°. Fry chicken, several rolls at a time, for 1-1/2 minutes or until golden brown. Place in an ungreased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
Bake, uncovered, at 350° for 30 minutes or until juices run clear. Remove toothpicks before serving. Yield: 6-8 servings.
