Parmesan cheese, grated 
4 slices Mozzarella cheese 
1/4 cup chicken broth 
1/4 cup white wine (optional) 
1/4 cup lemon juice 

Saute chicken in butter for 4 minutes each side (lightly browning). 
Remove chicken to a large 3 quart flat casserole dish and top each with cooked spinach. 
Sprinkle each with Parmesan cheese and top with a slice of Mozzarella cheese. 
Add chicken broth to the same pan used to saute chicken (to deglaze). 
Add the wine and lemon juice, stir. 
Pour sauce over chicken. 
Bake at 325F for 30 minutes. 
Cheese should be melted and breasts heated thoroughly. 

Cook's Notes: If you decide to forego the wine, replace the 1/4 cup liquid with equal amounts of lemon juice and chicken stock
