Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
  • 8 thin chicken cutlets, 3 oz each
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, divided
  • 6 tablespoons egg whites or egg beaters
  • 5 oz frozen spinach, squeezed dry of any liquid
  • 6 tbsp part skim ricotta cheese
  • 6 oz part skim mozzarella (I used Polly-O)
  • olive oil non-stick spray (I use my Misto)
  • 1 cup pomodoro sauce or your favorite marinara sauce
  • salt and pepper to taste

Wash
and
dry
cutlets, season with salt and pepper.
Preheat
oven to 450°. Lightly
spray
a baking dish with non-stick spray.


Combine
breadcrumbs and 2 tbsp grated cheese in one bowl and 1/4 cup egg beaters or egg whites in another.




Shred
or
finely chop
1.5 oz of mozzarella cheese and
combine
with remaining grated cheese, spinach (make sure you squeeze it dry), 2 tbsp egg beaters, and ricotta cheese.


Lay
chicken cutlets down on a working surface and
spread
2 tbsp of spinach-cheese mixture on each cutlet.
Loosely
roll each one and keep seam side down.


Dip
chicken in egg mixture, then in breadcrumbs and place seam side down in a baking dish (no toothpicks needed).
Repeat
with the remaining chicken. When finished,
lightlyspray
with olive oil.




Bake
25 minutes.
Remove
from oven,
top
with sauce then cheese.





Bake
until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 3 more minutes.
Serve
with additional sauce on the side and grated cheese.
