Chicken Parmesan Bundles
You guys know that we LOVE chicken! It’s our favorite meat and one that the entire family loves, so I’m always trying out new chicken dinner recipes for the crew. Today’s recipe is one I spotted years and years ago and one I finally made the time to try. It’s a super simple recipe, and I’m kinda mad I didn’t try it sooner because it’s just that good. These Parmesan Chicken Bundles are easy and so delicious and one that most the family loved. I say most because a few of the kids were concerned that there was some “green stuff” (spinach) in their chicken and it kinda freaked them out (yes, most of my kids don’t like spinach). 
Fortunately, the hubby and I loved it so much that we’ve had it twice in the last month. With chicken covered in cracker crumbs and stuffed with cheese and spinach, and all topped off with your favorite pasta sauce, you really can’t go wrong! I’m thinking this chicken would be great served with our Fried Zucchini and perhaps the Tortellini Salad. A great meal idea for Sunday dinner or for company too.
Here’s the recipe:
Chicken Parmesan Bundles

Ingredients
- 6 thin chicken breast (you can pound it down if they're a little thicker)

- Spread cheese and spinach mixture onto chicken breast and roll up chicken tightly. Secure with a toothpick.
- Roll chicken bundle in egg and then in crumbs and cheese dish and evenly coat.
