Method

Cut chicken breasts into small bite-sized cubes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, toss in flour, and shake off excess. Melt 1 tbsp butter in large saucepan then cook chicken over medium heat until no longer pink, 5-7 minutes. Remove chicken from pan, place on a plate, and cover with foil to keep warm. Using same saucepan, add another 1 tbsp butter, shallots and garlic. Cook about 1 minute on medium heat, making sure garlic doesn't burn. Add wine, chicken stock and half-and-half, then cook until liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Stir in parsley, then add chicken and spinach to saucepan. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook another 3 minutes or until sauce is thickened. Spoon about a teaspoon of filling into each phyllo shell. Top with a sprinkle of Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
