Heavenly Chicken Recipe

Be sure to spice this up some to avoid blandness. I usually use some Emeril's Bayou Blast or some other cajun seasoning, plus extra black pepper. This freezes beautifully - just be sure to completely cover each breast half completely with the spinach mixture to avoid drying out.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Green onion chopped

4 tablespoon Butter or margarine

4 tablespoon Flour

2 cups milk

1 cup Cracker crumbs

1 cup Parmesan cheese

8 Chicken breast halves

2 10 oz-packages Frozen spinach cooked and well drained

1 cup Ham chopped


Directions

1. In a saucepan, saute the scallions in butter until tender. Whisk in flour; whisk in milk all at once. Bring to a boil and cook and stir until the sauce is thickened and bubbly. 2. Meanwhile, combine the cracker crumbs (breadcrumbs work too in a pinch) and cheese. Dip chicken breast halves in the crumb mixture to coat lightly; retain remaining crumb mixture. (Note: If freezing the meal for later, seal the remaining crumb mixture in a freezer bag). 3. Arrange the breast halves in a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish. 4. Stir the spinach and ham into the white sauce. Spoon the spinach mixture over the chicken. (Can freeze at this point for later; tape the crumb mixture bag to the side. Defrost before baking.). 5. Bake, covered, at 350F for 60 to 75 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with crumbs. Bake 10 minutes more.
