SPINACH-STUFFED CHICKEN PARMESAN
Every time I buy a loaf of bread, I use the heels to make bread crumbs. Just pop them in the toasters and crush them into a labeled baggie. That way I always have them on hand for quick recipes like this. -Kellie Foglio, Salem, Wisconsin

SPINACH CHICKEN PARMESAN
I adopted this recipe from Recipezzar. It used to be called just Chicken Parmesan, but most other dishes with that name on here are tomato based and I wanted to make clear that this one isn't. I have also changed the amounts of some of the ingredients as I felt they just weren't quite balanced. This can easily be doubled .

I had something very similar at a neighbors house and it was so delicious. After getting the recipe I played with it just a little, made some additions and have an even better version of the original. I hope you like it, too! For a quick, throw-it-together soup that is ready in practically no time, this is it.

Steps:
- 1. Cut raw chicken into cubes and season with salt and pepper. Either brown in a little olive oil, in a Dutch oven, or set aside raw.
- 2. To Dutch oven add broth, granulated onion & garlic, corn and crushed red pepper; bring to a boil. *If you browned the chicken stir well to get the browned bits and drippings incorporated into the broth. Add chicken then reduce heat to low and simmer for about 5 minutes.
- 3. Add diced tomatoes, V-8, beans to broth, stir and bring back to a simmer for 15 minutes.
- 4. Stir in baby spinach and basil. Continue cooking soup until spinach is wilted and chicken is cooked through, about 2 minutes longer. Taste and add salt & pepper as needed.

- 6. *TIP: For a richer flavor pan sear the chicken breasts before or after cutting into cubes. Brown on both sides in a 1 T butter and 1 T olive oil. When browned remove from pot and set aside. *Options: Use Turkey or Sweet Italian sausage instead of Chicken

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 450 degree F. Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick cooking spray, set aside.
- 2. Make the sauce - or use your favorite. 3 1/2 cups is what my recipe makes. May want to double if having more than 4 for spaghetti. I used this sauce for the chicken and 4 servings of pasta. Heat the olive oil in skillet or saucepan, over medium heat. Add the onion and saute until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about a minute more. Add the tomatoes, oregano, salt and red pepper flakes, and bring to simmer. Simmer while preparing Chicken, about 10 minutes. Let cool for about 15 minutes.
- 3. Now, pour the sauce into a food processor or blender and puree until desired smoothness. (totally optional, but for this dish, I like a smoother sauce. Keep warm till ready to use.
- 4. In a bowl, add ricotta cheese, 1 egg, 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella, spinach, salt and pepper to taste. Blend thoroughly.
- 5. Place 2 or 3 chicken cutlets inside a large freezer bag Pound out each piece to about 1/4 in thick with meat mallot. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- 6. Now, salt and pepper each piece.
- 7. On two separate plates; add bread crumbs and 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese to one, and lightly beat 2 eggs on another. Onto each breast, spread about 2 tablespoon of cheese mixture. If I have extra at the end, I add more to each.
- 8. Loosely roll each one and keep seam side down. Dip chicken in egg mixture, then in breadcrumbs and place seam side down into prepared baking dish. Repeat steps with remaining chicken.
- 9. Bake for 25 - 30 minutes. Remove from oven, top each cutlet with about 2 tbsp sauce.
- 10. Criss - cross cheese atop the sauce. Sprinkle with parsley.
- 11. Bake until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 3 more minutes.
- 12. Serve with the additional sauce, pasta and Parmesan cheese. Delicious!!!
Tips:
- To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, pound them to an even thickness before breading and cooking.
- For a crispier coating, double-coat the chicken in the flour, egg, and breadcrumb mixture.
- Use a large skillet or griddle to cook the chicken so that it has plenty of room to brown.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat so that it cooks through without burning.
- Top the chicken with the marinara sauce and cheese and bake until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Serve the chicken parmesan with a side of spaghetti or garlic bread.
Conclusion:
Spinach chicken parmesan is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The combination of crispy chicken, flavorful marinara sauce, and melted cheese is sure to please everyone at the table. Plus, it's a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables!
