Chicken Parmesan is even more delicious when it's turned inside out and wrapped around a melty cheese center.

What You Need

oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) PHILADELPHIA Cream Cheese, softened

pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained

1-1/4

cups KRAFT Shredded Low-Moisture Part-Skim Mozzarella Cheese, divided

Tbsp. KRAFT Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided

small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/2 lb.), pounded to 1/4-inch thickness

RITZ Crackers, crushed (about 1/2 cup)

1-1/2

cups spaghetti sauce, heated

Make It

HEAT oven to 375ºF.

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.

This taste as good as the $15 version at the local Italian rest. My kids loved it and helped make it. It's a great way to get more spinach in our diet. We will add this to our dishes that we like the most.

I would make this again and again. My whole family loved this. I put 8 oz of cream cheese, and some garlic salt into this reciepe. I made some spaghetti sauce but I thought this was much better without it.

It came out wonderful! I put a few leaves of basil, chopped, into the spinach mixture and I think that's what it needed to overcome any blandness. Also, I used the extra spinach-cheese mixture as a topping, added in the last 5 minutes of baking. I was able to make the chicken in less than 10 minutes, and it baked in 40 (a little longer than the recipe said). I looked like a gourmet chef!

This is my new holiday chicken recipe! My family loved it! I used the thin sliced chicken and warmed up the spinach mixture slightly before rolling. Warming it helped everything stick together. I did not use the spaghetti sauce and it was delicious without it. I will make again and again.

This is a definite keeper! My husband and I loved this recipe. It had the right creamy mixture with moist chicken and a nice, slightly crunchy outside. Very easy, but had the look and taste as if I had spent twice the time.

LOVED IT... rolling was kind of difficult but i base that on th efact that i didn't pound it thin. i don't eat spinach so I sub with broccali. Great meal with a small salad on the side

Unless everyone had some magic chicken, i had some serious issues getting it to roll up correctly. Other than that, very good but not very quick and convienent.

Recipe was great. My chicken was still a little frozen, so I just sliced the pieces in half and stuffed them. Had to bake it for about 40 minutes. Seasoned the chicken with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning before stuffing them.

I love this recipe,,I have a 5 and an 8 yr old and they loved it. It was easy to prepare and then you just pop it in the oven. I will make this a regular recipe.
