Yummy goodness :)


Stuffed Chicken Parmesan:

1/2 c seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons flour
salt and pepper to taste

Place chicken breasts between sheets of saran wrap; pound with a meat mallet til approximately 1/4" thick. Spread one cheese wedge on each slice; top with 1/4 c spinach. Repeat. Roll each piece up, dip in egg, then dredge in the breadcrumb/flour mixture. Place on a cooking rack on top of a cookie sheet; spray with cooking spray. Bake at 350 degrees for 45 minutes.
