SPINACH-STUFFED CHICKEN PARMESAN
Every time I buy a loaf of bread, I use the heels to make bread crumbs. Just pop them in the toasters and crush them into a labeled baggie. That way I always have them on hand for quick recipes like this. -Kellie Foglio, Salem, Wisconsin

Tips:
- For a crispy crust, ensure the chicken is completely coated in the panko breadcrumb mixture before baking.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- If you don't have any chicken broth on hand, you can use water instead. However, the broth will add more flavor to the stuffing.
- Make sure the stuffing is cooked through before stuffing the chicken breasts. You can check this by cooking a small amount of the stuffing in a skillet over medium heat until it's heated through.
- If you're short on time, you can use store-bought stuffing mix. Just be sure to add some extra herbs and spices to give it more flavor.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
