I had this at a local restaurant many years ago and loved it. I came home and tried to duplicate it, and this is my version. I think this is very close to the dish I had that night.

Chicken Annabella on a plate with angel hair pasta.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This recipe is a beautiful way to serve a restaurant-quality chicken dinner at home. The chicken breast is poached perfectly in white wine. Topping with spinach and cheese makes for a wonderful meal. We served ours over angel hair pasta, but spaghetti, fettuccine, or linguine would also be great.
