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. I assure you will love it！

Ingredients

3/4 cup Shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 tsp. Dried oregano
1 tsp. Dried basil
2 cans No-salt-added tomato sauce
1 Large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 cup Dry whole wheat bread crumbs
4 Boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1/4 tsp. Pepper
1/4 tsp. Salt
2 tbsp. Grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 tsp. Olive oil
2 cloves Garlic, minced
4 cups Fresh spinach

Method

01

Preheat oven to 375°F. In a large skillet, cook and stir spinach and garlic in oil just until wilted. Drain. Stir in 1 tablespoon Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
02

Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to 1/4-in. thickness. Spread each with 1 tablespoon spinach mixture. Fold chicken in half, enclosing filling; secure with toothpicks.
03

Place bread crumbs and egg in separate shallow bowls. Dip chicken in egg, then rolls in crumbs to coat. Place seam side down in an 8-in. square baking dish coated with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, 20 minutes.
04

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine tomato sauce, basil, and oregano. Pour over chicken. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and remaining Parmesan cheese. Bake, uncovered, 10-15 minutes longer or until a thermometer reads 165°F. Discard toothpicks before serving.
