Ingredients

  • 125 g (1/2 of 250-g pkg.) Philadelphia Brick Cream Cheese , softened
  • 1 pkg. (300 g) frozen chopped spinach , thawed, well drained
  • 1-1/4 cups Kraft Mozzarella Shredded Cheese , divided

Preparation

Step 1

Heat oven to 375°F.


Mix cream cheese, spinach, 1 cup mozzarella and 3 Tbsp. Parmesan until blended; spread onto chicken. 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 (170°F), heating pasta sauce near the end of the chicken baking time. Discard toothpicks. Serve chicken topped with pasta sauce and remaining mozzarella.
