Directions:
On large plate, combine 1 tablespoon potato flour, salt, and pepper. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine cheese, lemon juice, and oregano. Set aside.

With a meat mallet, pound each chicken breast to about ½ inch thick.

Spread cheese mixture on each chicken breast, leaving ½ inch border.

Fold chicken breasts in half, securing each with a toothpick.

Coat chicken breasts with potato flour mixture.

In large skillet, heat oil over medium heat.

Cook chicken breasts for 1 to 2 minutes on each side, until golden.

In a small bowl, whisk together 1½ cups water, chicken bouillon cube, and remaining potato flour; pour over chicken breasts in pan.

Add spinach and tomatoes to skillet, and bring to boil.

Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer about 8 to 10 minutes, or until chicken is no longer pink inside.

Pull and discard toothpicks, and garnish with olives and fresh chives before serving. Some folks like flat parsley, but I prefer chives.
