I decided to create a blog so that I could share recipes with my family and friends :) I am very family orientated and love to spend time with them any chance I get and most of my close friends, I consider to be like family. This blog will be kept short, simple and fun. I love to cook in the kitchen and try new recipes so if you have any new ones you would like me to try....just email me or comment :)

Chicken Rollatini w/ Spinach

Lately I have been on a kick of stuffed chicken. I am not a huge fan of spinach, but I saw this recipe & knew it would be something that I would love! Of course, later on I found out it was a Weight Watchers Recipe. Doesn't seem like it would be, but 5 points for this chicken...not bad!

*For pasta recipe-look for Breadcrumb Pasta


Ingredients:
8 chicken cutlets (3 oz each)
1/2 cup whole wheat seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (divided)
6 tbsp. egg whites
5 oz frozen spinach
6 tbsp. skim mozzarella
1 cup of your favorite marinara sauce (I wish I had some of our homemade sauce leftover)

What to do:
  1. Preheat oven to 450F
  2. Wash & dry cutlets
  3. Season with salt and pepper
  4. Lightly spray your baking dish with Pam spray
  5. In 1st bowl, combine breadcrumbs & 2 tbsp. grated cheese
  6. In 2nd bowl, pour 4 tbsp. egg whites
  7. Shred 1.5 oz of mozzarella cheese and combine with remaining grated cheese, spinach, 2 tbsp. egg whites & ricotta cheese
  8. Lay chicken cutlets on surface and spread with spinach-cheese mixture

    9.   Loosely rool each one and keep seam side down
  10.   Dip chicken in egg mixture & then in breadcrums
  11.   Place chicken, seamside down, in baking dish & repeat with remaining chicken
  12.   Lightly spray with olive oil

  13.   Bake 25 minutes
  14.   Remove & top with sauce & remaining mozzarella cheese


  15.   Bake until cheese is melted
