Spinach and Chicken roll ups with risotto

This is a great chicken recipe, that my husband absolutely loves. I hope you do too.
Ingredients (a list in the beginning, just for my friend Amy D.)

Chicken breast (4) parmesan 1 cup, 1 block of cream cheese, garlic, onion, 1 pkg of chopped spinach, salt and pepper, egg, milk, bread crumbs, aborio rice, chicken broth, white wine, bread crumbs, jar of favorite spaghetti sauce and veggie of choice.
Thaw spinach in microwave, about 1 min and add to strainer. Squeeze all the water out, there is a bunch! Also soften cream cheese and preheat oven to 375.
While preparing spinach and cream cheese, pound chicken breast between plastic wrap until it is thinner and able to be rolled. It will almost double the size.






Next put cream cheese, about 1/2 cup of parmesan cheese, 1 tsp of salt and 1/2 tsp of pepper, chop 2 cloves of garlic and spinach in a bowl and mix.





Prepare an egg wash with 1 egg and milk, take remaining parmesan and add to bowl with a handful of bread crumbs.



Spread spinach mixture onto chicken and roll up, dip in egg wash and roll into bread crumbs, put into baking dish.




Bake for 1 hour at 375.





Heat up spaghetti sauce, in a separate pan bring chicken broth to a simmer. Add olive oil in a large skillet and saute' garlic and onions then add arborio rice, which is risotto (find it in the pasta aisle or sometimes rice or Italian specialty aisle). Stir for about 1 minute.



When it looks like this, add a splash of white wine (1/4 cup).




As you stir the wine will dissolve, for about 30 min stir almost constantly and add a ladle of broth until almost dry then continue to add one ladle at a time test at about 20-25 min and it should be like rice, it will have a creamy consistency.





Chicken when finished.



The finished plate....MMMmmmm good!
