Spinach Sauced Chicken



This sauce is really good and really easy. Fairly nutritios too with all that spinach.

What you need:
1/3 cup Italian seasoned fine dry bread crumbs
2 tbsp parmesan cheese
6 skinless boneless chicken breasts (I just used 4 thinly sliced ones)
1/4 cup sliced green onions
1 tbsp butter or margarine
1 tbsp all purpose flour
1/2 cup milk
1/2 a 10oz package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
2 ounces diced ham slices

What you need to do:
In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs and parmesan cheese. Coat chicken with crumb mixture. Arrange chicken in a 2 quart baking dish. Set remaining crumb mixture aside. IN a saucepan, cook green onions in hot butter until tender. Stir in flour. stir in milk all at once. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Stir in spinach and ham (I accidentally used the entire package of spinach. Still good though). Spoon spinach mixture over chicken; sprinkle with remaining crumb mixture. Bake, uncovered in a 350 oven for 40-45 minutes.
