Combine the spinach and the next seven ingredients in the container of an electric blender or food processor. Cover and process until smooth. Pour into a small bowl and set aside. Coat a large skillet with cooking spray; place over medium-high heat until hot. Add the chicken and saute until browned; stir in the reserved spinach mixture. Cover and simmer 5 minutes or until it is thoroughly heated and the chicken is tender (do not boil). Add the reserved past to the skillet. Toss gently. Serve immediately.
