Ingredients

The following ingredients have 6 Servings
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 10 oz pkg frozen chopped spinach (thawed and well-drained)
  • 1 1/4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (divided)
  • 6 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 6 small boneless (skinless chicken breast halves, or 12 chicken tenders, pounded to 1/4 inch thickness)
  • 1 egg
  • 10 Ritz crackers (crushed)
  • 1 1/2 cups pasta sauce

Instruction

  • Preheat oven to 375. Mix cream cheese, spinach, 1 cup of mozzarella cheese and 3 Tbsp of the parmesan cheese until well blended.  Spread evenly onto the chicken breasts/tenders. Starting at one of the short ends of each breast/tender, roll up each chicken tightly. Secure with wooden toothpicks and set aside.
  • Beat egg in shallow bowl or pie plate.  Mix remaining 3 Tbsp Parmesan cheese and the cracker crumbs in separate shallow bowl or pie plate.  Dip chicken bundles in egg and then roll in crumb mixture.  Place seam-sides down in a greased 9X13 baking dish.
  • Bake for 30 minutes or until chicken is cooked through (165 F). During the last 10 minutes of baking, heat the pasta sauce in a saucepan over medium heat. Once chicken is out of the oven, remove and discard toothpicks.  Serve topped with the heated sauce and the remaining 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese.  Enjoy!
