Add spinach and saut until barely wilted; stir in remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Remove mixture from frypan, drain, cool and divide into 8 parts. On each chicken breast, place 1 part of spinach mixture; sprinkle cheese evenly over chicken, roll up and fasten with toothpicks. In medium bowl, mix eggs and milk. In separate shallow bowl, place breadcrumbs. Add chicken, first in egg mixture and then in breadcrumbs, dredging to coat. In same frypan, place peanut oil and heat to medium temperature.
