Cilantro EVOO Infused Chicken over Creamed Spinach

What You Need:
(This is for two servings of 5oz each chicken)
Marinade:
2 TBS Cilantro & Roasted Onion (or similar) EVOO (Or improvise with adding your own cilantro and onion) I buy mine at my favorite store (I know I have mentioned them): Saratoga Olive Oil Company where you can also order online!
1 TBS freshly minced garlic
1 TBS raw honey
1/8 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp celtic sea salt
1/8 cup lime juice (I recommend cutting the lime juice in half if you are not putting this over a bed of creamed spinach)

10oz chicken (5oz breast per person)

Creamed Spinach:
This was completely improv because I needed to get rid of spinach before it went bad, and I kept adding to it so I am not 100% sure of the amounts, but feel free to substitute for your own recipe, or substitute certain ingredients of mine into yours to make it a bit more healthy :).
Keep in mind coconut flour is very dense, use approx 1/2 the amount you would normal flour.
1/4 cup organic whole milk
2 tbs butter
2 TBS coconut flour
1 6oz bag baby spinach leaves
salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste

What To Do:
Chicken:
Place chicken breasts in baking dish. Combine all ingredients for marinade in a bowl, mix thoroughly, and add to chicken. Allow to marinate for at least 30 minutes. I grilled mine on the George Foreman grill.

Spinach:
Make a roux with butter and coconut flour in a double boiler. Add milk and allow to thicken. Add handfuls of spinach as they fit until wilted... looking like a cream spinach. Add spices as desired.

I know this sounds really caveman but I don't know how else to describe making creamed spinach! I have never looked at a recipe. If anyone has any tips please let me know!

Add grilled chicken over creamed spinach, and enjoy!
