"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Combine flour, salt and pepper, dredge chicken pieces. Heat butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken; cook for about 3-4 minutes per side.

Add heavy cream mixed with the cornstarch; cook until thickens slightly. Add some spinach to each piece of chicken, then top with mozzarella cheese. Bake in a 325º oven until the cheese melts. Ladle some sauce overall, and serve with remaining sauce. Enjoy! Serves 4-6.

Steve and I enjoyed going to go our favorite restaurant in Carolina Beach, NC. It was called the Deck House, an old church with a steeple, renovated into a restaurant. Very quaint. They have sadly closed their doors. Steve enjoyed the Chicken Deck House so much that we decided to make it ourselves. This is the closest, of my many attempts, to duplicate their recipe. I usually double the sauce and serve with buttered noodles or jasmine rice.
