- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Italian dressing
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 4 cups Baby Spinach
- 6 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic (to taste)
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese
- 2 cups spaghetti sauce
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 2 cups Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Method
- Marinate the chicken breasts in the italian dressing overnight.
- In a wok or lg frying pan saute spinach in olive oil until all of it is wilted, transfer to a mixing bowl and add bacon, garlic and 1 Cup mozzarella cheese. Set aside.
- Pre heat oven to 350.
- Pound each chicken breast out evenly to 1/4" thick.
- Pour 1 Cup spaghetti sauce on bottom of a 9x13 pan and spread evenly.
- Put 1/4 of spinach mixture in the center of the first breast and roll chicken breast up carefully securing with toothpicks. Repeat with three remaining chicken breasts.
- Brush each breast with some beaten egg and coat with breadcrumbs.
- Place in the pan and drizzle melted butter over each breast.
- Place pan in oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink.
- Take out of oven, remove the toothpicks ( I use a fork to apply light pressure to the chicken while pulling the toothpick out), and pour 1/4 cup spaghetti sauce over each breast and put 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese over sauce.
- Return to oven and additional 5-10 minutes to melt the cheese.
- Serve immediately. Good with pasta or roasted potatoes and steamed whole green beans.
