Chicken Braciole *

2 cups marinara sauce
2 eight ounce boneless, skinless chicken breasts
4 thin slices prosciutto
1 cup fresh spinach
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella
1/4 tsp pepper

Cut each breast in half horizontally, cutting nearly through to the opposite side.  Open so it forms two flaps, hinged at the center.  Cover with a large piece of plastic wrap and pound to 1/4 inch thickness.  Layer 2 slices of prosciutto, 1/2 cup spinach, and 1/4 cup mozzarella on each breast.  Starting from a long side, roll closed.  Either tie with kitchen string or use toothpicks to keep closed and tuck them in to keep the filling from falling out in a 13x9 pan.  Sprinkle each roll with pepper and cover all with marinara sauce.  Cover with foil and bake at 350 for about 30-40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked all the way through.  Remove string or toothpicks before serving. 

Serves 4
