Roll chicken in half of the crumb mixture to coat lightly.

Place chicken in a 13x9-inch baking dish.

In a small saucepan, cook green onion in margarine until tender.

Stir in flour until blended. Add milk,; cook and stir over medium heat until thickened and bubbly. Add nutmeg and cook , stirring for two minutes more.

**Note: The recipe does not call for nutmeg, but I added it myself. I think it pairs well with the spinach.
