CHICKEN ROLLATINI WITH SPINACH & PARMESAN

Recipe Notes

Requires some prep work, so make this on a night when you're not in a hurry for a meal. I saved some time by having my butcher make four large-ish chicken breasts into cutlets for me at the store.

Ingredients

• 8 thin chicken cutlets


• 1/2 c. Italian seasoned breadcrumbs


• 1/4 c. grated or shredded parmesan cheese, divided


• 6 tbsp. egg whites (from approximately 3 large eggs)


• 5 oz. frozen spinach (1/2 box), squeezed dry of any liquid


• 6 tbsp. part-skim ricotta


• 6 oz. part-skim mozzarella (shredded)

• Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

2. Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.

3. Combine breadcrumbs and 2 tbsp. Parmesan cheese in a bowl. In a second bowl, add the whites of two eggs.

4. Combine 4.5 oz. shredded mozzarella with remaining Parmesan, ricotta, spinach (squeezed dry), and remaining egg whites.

5. Lay chicken cutlets on a working surface and spoon 2 tbsp. spinach/ricotta mixture into the center of each cutlet. Loosely roll each one and keep the seam side down.

6. Dip rolled-up chicken in egg whites, then roll breadcrumbs. Place breaded chicken cutlets seam side down in a glass baking dish sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

7. When finished, lightly spray the tops of the chicken cutlets with non-stick cooking spray. Bake 25 minutes.

8. Remove from oven and top with sauce and remaining mozarella cheese.

9. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbling, approximately 5 minutes. Serve with additional sauce and grated cheese on the side, if desired.
