Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 oz. Cream Cheese, softened
1/2 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained
1 clove garlic
some fresh basil
pinch crushed red pepper
1/4 cups Mozzarella Cheese, divided
6 Tbsp. Parmesan Cheese
2 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves pounded thin
1 egg
1/4 cup bread crumbs
1 cup favorite spaghetti sauce

Steps:

  • PREHEAT oven to 375ºF. Mix cream cheese, spinach, garlic, basil, pepper, mozzarella cheese and 3 Tbsp. of the Parmesan cheese until well blended; spread evenly onto chicken breasts. Starting at one of the short ends of each breast, roll up chicken tightly. Secure with wooden toothpicks, if desired. Set aside. BEAT egg in shallow bowl or pie plate. Mix remaining 3 Tbsp. Parmesan cheese and the bread crumbs in separate shallow bowl or pie plate. Dip chicken bundles in egg, then roll in crumb mixture. Place, seam-sides down, in 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray. BAKE 30 min. or until chicken is cooked through (165ºF). Remove and discard toothpicks, if using. Serve topped with the spaghetti sauce and some mozzarella cheese.
