Spinach Stuffed Chicken Parmesan
What you need:
- 8 thinly sliced chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
- 2 large eggs, beaten slightly
- 6 oz. baby spinach
- 6 oz. shredded mozzarella
- 6 oz. fresh mozzarella log, cut into thin slices
- 1 cup pasta sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
- Combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat eggs.
- Lay out your chicken breasts and on each, layer spinach leaves and shredded mozzarella.
- Roll each chicken breast up and secure with toothpicks, if needed.
- Carefully dip each rolled up breast into eggs and then breadcrumbs.
- Place seam side down in a greased baking pan.
- Bake for 25 minutes in a preheated 450* oven.
- Remove from the oven and spoon a tablespoon of sauce over each piece of chicken.
- Cover each piece with a slice of mozzarella.
- Return to oven and bake for about 5 more minutes. I turned my broiler on low to get a little brown on my cheese.
- Serve over cooked pasta, if desired. We did ours with garlic bread and a side salad.
