  • 2 * 2 tablespoons butter, divided
  • 2 * 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
  • 1/2 * 1/2 cup egg substitute
  • 2 * 2 cups seasoned stuffing croutons, lightly crushed
  • 6 * 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves (6 ounces each)
  • 2 * 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1 * 1 cup chicken broth

  • 1/2 * 1/2 teaspoon browning sauce, optional
  • 2 * 2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/4 * 1/4 teaspoon salt-free lemon-pepper seasoning, optional

Preparation

Step 1

* In a nonstick skillet, saute the onion, celery, red pepper and garlic in 1 tablespoon butter until tender. Add spinach; cook and stir until spinach is wilted. Cool. Add egg substitute and croutons; mix well.
* Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. Top each piece with spinach stuffing; roll up and secure with toothpicks. Place in a 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish coated with cooking spray. Cover and bake at 350° for 40-45 minutes or until chicken juices run clear.
* In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, broth, lemon juice and browning sauce if desired until smooth. In a nonstick skillet, saute mushrooms in remaining butter until tender. Gradually stir in broth mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened.
* Remove toothpicks from roll-ups. Serve with mushroom sauce. Sprinkle with lemon-pepper if desired. Yield: 6 servings.
