Chicken Caesar Florentine

Recipe from Taste of Home magazine - Dec 2011/Jan 2012 issue

Yield:  4 servings

Ingredients:

2 cups grated Parmesan cheese, divided

2 cups Caesar salad croutons, coarsely crushed, divided

1 cup fresh baby spinach

1 cup creamy Caesar salad dressing, divided

4 bone-in chicken breast halves, skin removed (8 oz each)

Directions:

In a large bowl, combine 1 cup cheese, 1 cup crushed croutons, spinach, and 1/2 cup salad dressing.  Cut a pocket in the thickest part of each chicken breast; fill with cheese mixture.

Place remaining dressing and crushed croutons in separate shallow bowls.  Dip chicken in dressing, then roll in croutons.

Transfer to a greased 13-inch x 9-inch baking dish.  Bake, uncovered, at 375 degrees F for 30 minutes.  Sprinkle with remaining cheese; bake 10-15 minutes longer or until a meat thermometer reads 170 degrees.
