Preparation

Step 1

PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Mix cream cheese spread, rice and spinach until well blended.

PLACE chicken breasts, top-sides down, on large cutting board. Top each with 3 ham slices and half of the rice mixture. Starting at one of the short ends, tightly roll up each chicken breast. Dip in egg, then in cracker crumbs, turning to evenly coat each chicken breast. Place in greased 8-inch square baking dish.

BAKE 35 to 40 min. or until chicken is cooked through (170°F).


Serving Suggestion
Serve with steamed green beans or broccoli.

How to Pound Chicken Breasts
Place 2 chicken breasts in large freezer-weight resealable plastic bag. Pound the chicken with the side of a heavy can, rolling pin or meat mallet until chicken is 1/4-inch thick.

Substitute
Substitute instant brown rice for the white rice.
