Think a classic chicken Parm can't be improved? Think again. The same savory crunch now yields to a cheesy, melty inside so good, you may forget the original existed.

Chicken-Parmesan Bundles Recipe

Ingredients

  • 4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) brick cream cheese, softened
  • 1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained
  • 1-1/4 cups shredded low-moisture part-skim mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 6 Tbsp. grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 6 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 lb.), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness
  • 1 egg
  • 10 RITZ Crackers, crushed (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1-1/2 cups spaghetti sauce, heated

Instructions

  • Heat  oven to 375ºF.
  • Mix  cream cheese, spinach, 1 cup mozzarella and 3 Tbsp. Parmesan until well blended; spread onto chicken breasts. Starting at one short end of each breast, roll up chicken tightly. Secure with wooden toothpicks, if desired.
  • Beat  egg in shallow dish. Mix remaining Parmesan and cracker crumbs in separate shallow dish. Dip chicken in egg, then roll in crumb mixture to evenly coat. Place, seam-sides down, in 13x9-inch baking dish sprayed with cooking spray.
  • Bake  30 min. or until chicken is done (165ºF). Remove and discard toothpicks, if using. Serve chicken topped with spaghetti sauce and remaining mozzarella.
