Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil
4 cloves garlic chopped
4 1/2 cups fresh spinach coarsely chopped
1/4 cup Romano cheese finely shredded
2 Tbsp Romano cheese finely shredded
1/2 cup mozzarella cheese finely shredded
salt and pepper to taste
8 thin chicken cutlets
1/2 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1 lemon juiced
1 tablespoon olive oil
olive oil non-stick spray

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450° F.
Wash chicken cutlets, pat dry and season with salt and pepper.
Spray a 9x13 baking dish with non-stick spray.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Add the garlic and saute for 1-2 minutes, or until golden.
Add chopped spinach, 1/4 cup Romano cheese, salt and pepper and saute about 1-2 more minutes, or until spinach is wilted. Set aside to cool.
When cool, add mozzarella cheese and combine.
Lay chicken cutlets down on a working surface and spread 2 tbsp of spinach-cheese mixture on each cutlet. Loosely roll each one and keep seam side down.
Combine breadcrumbs and remaining 2 tablespoons of Romano cheese in one bowl. In a second bowl combine olive oil and lemon juice.
Dip chicken in lemon-oil mixture, then in breadcrumbs and place seam side down in a baking dish.
Repeat same steps with the remaining chicken. When finished, lightly spray with oil spray.
Bake in preheated oven for 30 minutes.

Notes

**Chicken cutlets are boneless, skinless chicken breast thinly sliced. There might be butchers that will do this for you if you ask. I was at Walmart today and purchased thin sliced chicken breast, but it cost more money per pound than the boneless, skinless chicken breast. I was in a hurry and it was worth the extra money. To save some money you could cut the chicken into cutlets yourself.
