Place flour in a shallow bowl; season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add oil.
Dredge chicken in the seasoned flour; shake off excess; place in the hot oil. Cook until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes per side or until fully cooked.* Transfer chicken to a platter.
Add garlic to the skillet; carefully add wine; scrape the bottom of the skillet to release bits stuck to the bottom. Add heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest and juice; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer; cook until sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Add spinach; stir; return chicken to the skillet. Cook for 1 minute more, until the spinach has wilted.
Serve garnished with fresh basil and lemon slices.
4-6 servings.
*Chicken thighs should be fully cooked when searing so that the spinach won't be overcooked.
