   • There are a few options to cook the chicken breasts:
     • You can poach them by simmering in water for a couple of hours.
     • Alternatively, bake the chicken breasts covered with foil until tender.
     • Tip: Cooking the chicken beforehand results in a much more tender dish!

2. Prepare the Spinach:

   • Microwave the frozen chopped spinach for about 6 minutes until thawed and heated through.

3. Saute the Onions:

   • In a pan, saute the finely chopped onion in 2 tablespoons of butter until translucent and fragrant.

4. Create the Creamy Sauce:

   • To the sauteed onions, add 3-4 tablespoons of flour, stirring constantly for about a minute to cook the flour.
   • Gradually pour in 1 cup of milk, whisking continuously to prevent lumps. Cook until the sauce thickens.

5. Add Spinach and Seasonings:

   • Mix in the thawed spinach, stirring until well combined with the creamy sauce.
   • Season the spinach mixture with salt, pepper, and a teaspoon of garlic powder for extra flavor.

6. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Heat a small amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
   • Sear the chicken breasts until they develop a golden-brown crust on the edges, about 3-4 minutes per side.

7. Assemble and Bake:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
   • Place the seared chicken breasts in a baking dish.
   • Spoon the creamy spinach mixture generously over the chicken pieces, ensuring they are well coated.

8. Bake to Perfection:

   • Bake the Greek Chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly and lightly golden.

9. Serve and Enjoy!

   • Once done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
   • Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh herbs like parsley or dill, if desired.
   • Serve this delicious Greek Chicken hot, with a side of rice, quinoa, or a crisp salad for a wholesome meal!
