This is a great new take on Chicken Parmesan. It's delicious and filling! It has a creamy cheesy spinach stuffing. You can top it with your favorite sauce and add mozzarella to finish it off. Great served with roasted potatoes, garlic mashed potatoes, or some kind of pasta.
Blue Ribbon Recipe
Not another ordinary Chicken Parmesan recipe here. This is a cross between stuffed chicken breast and Chicken Parmesan. The super creamy stuffing is spinach mixed with cream cheese, mozzarella cheese, and Parmesan. Once baked, the cracker and cheese coating is crunchy without the mess of frying. A tasty twist on Chicken Parmesan. When the chicken is baking, heat your favorite sauce and prepare the pasta of your choice. Serve alongside some garlic bread, too, for a fantastic family meal.

How to Make Stuffed Chicken Parmesan

- Mix cream cheese, spinach, mozzarella, and Parmesan until well blended.

- Beat egg in a shallow dish. Mix remaining Parmesan and cracker crumbs in a separate shallow dish.
- Dip chicken in egg, then roll in crumb mixture to evenly coat.
- Place, seam-sides down, in a 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
- Bake 30 minutes or until chicken is done.
- Remove and discard toothpicks, if using. Serve chicken topped with spaghetti sauce and mozzarella.
