Spinach-Stuffed Chicken

By: Mary Jones

"These moist chicken rolls get their appealing look from a golden crumb coating and wonderful spinach and onion filling. They're good right out of the oven, but you can also serve them chilled for an elegant lunch. --Mary Jones of St. Louis, Missouri"

Original Recipe Yield 6 servings

Ingredients

6 cups torn fresh spinach
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup chopped fresh mushrooms
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon olive or canola oil
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 pounds)
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 cup egg substitute
1 tablespoon water
2 tablespoons butter or stick margarine, melted

Directions

In a large nonstick skillet, cook spinach in 1/2 in. of water over medium heat just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Drain and set spinach aside. In the same skillet, saute the onion, mushrooms and garlic in oil until tender. Stir in the seasonings; add spinach and set aside.
Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread spinach mixture down the center of each chicken breast. Fold one side over filling and roll up tightly; secure with a toothpick. In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and paprika. In another bowl, combine egg substitute and water. Dip each roll-up in egg mixture, then roll in crumb mixture.
Place seam side down, in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking pan coated with nonstick cooking spray. Drizzle with butter. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 20-25 minutes or until juices run clear. Discard toothpicks.
