INGREDIENT NOTES:
SPINACH:

here gives our dish a touch of natural green color.
CHICKEN BREAST:
The recipe uses 4 small/2 large fillets of chicken breasts. People like thighs so, you may use the thighs (skinless) in place of breasts.
BUTTER:
Use butter in this dish to get a more creamy rich flavor.
GARLIC:
As always, we recommend you to use fresh garlic. Use a smaller number of cloves to have a light garlic taste. You shouldn’t omit them.
FLOUR:
Use the flour (all-purpose) to coat the chicken. This will give a crispy & crunchy layer on the surface.

We always recommend you buy fresh cheese from its counter & shred/grate it by yourself. Here the recipe uses parmesan cheese.
SUN-DRIED TOMATOES:
They give a nice & classical flavor to our dish. Keep the size of the tomatoes as per your choice.
