Makes: 4 Servings
​
Ingredients
4 chicken breasts (about 6 oz each), boneless and skinless
​¼ cup bread crumbs, plain, crushed 
½ cup mozzarella cheese, part skim, shredded 
2 cloves garlic, minced 
10 oz frozen spinach leaves 
​
1 Tbs olive oil, or other vegetable oil
¼ tsp salt
½ tsp pepper

Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Place chicken between 2 sheets of plastic wrap; pound chicken to ½ inch thick.
  3. Coat chicken with bread crumbs and place on a foil-covered baking sheet. Discard remaining bread crumbs. Bake for 20 minutes.
  4. Top chicken with cheese; bake 4-5 minutes until cheese is melted and chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. While chicken is cooking, heat oil in a large skillet on medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute stirring consistently so it doesn't burn.
  6. Add the spinach and cook for 2 minutes, or until wilted, stirring occasionally.  Serve with chicken​.
