This is a great main course for dinner guests...and they never believe how easy it is. The creamy feta-basil filling can be made early and refrigerated until needed. Deli ham and packaged spinach leaves further cut prep time. Ingredients:
5 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each) |
2 cups fresh baby spinach |
4 ounces cream cheese, softened |
4 ounces crumbled feta cheese |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil or 2 teaspoons dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper |
5 thin slices deli ham |
1 egg |
1 tablespoon milk |
3/4 to 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs |
Directions:
1. Flatten chicken breasts to 1/4-in. thickness. Place a single layer of spinach over chicken.
2. In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, feta cheese, basil and pepper until blended; spread over spinach. Top each chicken breast with a ham slice, trimming if necessary. Roll up and secure with toothpicks.
3. In a shallow bowl, beat egg and milk. Place bread crumbs in another bowl. Dip chicken rolls in egg mixture, then coat with crumbs.
4. Place seam side down in a greased 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 30-35 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink. Discard toothpicks. Yield: 5 servings.
