Off Da Chain Chicken

~Ingredients~

4 Organic or All-Natural Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
2 (of the large) Balls of Fresh Mozzarella, sliced (Do not use the mini balls! That's all I had and I had to fight to keep them inside of the chicken fold!)   
8 Large Fresh, Organic Spinach Leaves (Again...do not use baby spinach!)
1 Clove of Fresh, Organic Garlic
4 to 5 tbsp Olive Oil
Salt & Pepper
Rosemary
3/4 Cup Earth Fare Breadcrumbs
3/4 Cup Grated Fresh Parmesan
1 Organic Lemon

Serves Four, but we made it serve five.

Wrap the chicken breasts in clear plastic and beat the shit out of them with a meat tenderizer. Beat them flat as pancakes (Not really, but you get the point). Put the chicken in a bowl and cover with white vinegar. Set a timer for 30 minutes and let them soak in the vinegar.

Mince a clove of garlic. Mix it in with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Add a dash of salt and pepper, stir. Set aside.

Three mixing bowls, which will form your breading assembly line: Bowl One: About a half cup of flour, Bowl Two: One egg, beaten, Bowl Three: 3/4 cup breadcrumbs mixed with 3/4 cup grated parmesan, add salt, pepper, and rosemary to taste. Set aside.

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

(At this point, you should still have time to go fold a load of laundry or knit a round on your loom before the timer for soaking the chicken goes off.)

Put 2 to 3 tbsp olive oil in a large pan and place on low heat.

Remove chicken from vinegar, rinse well, and pat dry. Rub each breast all over with the olive oil, minced garlic, salt & pepper mixture. Place in a baking dish and place a layer of spinach and mozzarella on top. Fold the breasts in half. 

Turn your pan up to medium heat.

Bread chicken. Flour first, then egg, then bread crumb mix. Place in pan and brown them.

Remove browned breasts from pan and place in baking dish. Squeeze lemon over breasts.

Bake in oven at preheated 300 until juices run clear. I can't put a baking time here, because it will vary depending on your oven, how long you browned the breasts in the pan, and how well you beat the breasts down when you tenderized them.

These were a hit with Husband, Boy 9, Boy 6, and Guest Boy 7 <<<, who announced, "Dat chicken wuz off da chain!"
