6.5 oz garlic-herb spreadable cheese
1 c seasoned bread crumbs, divided
1/2 tsp salt, divided
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Preheat oven to 400F.  In a large skillet saute spinach in 2 tsp olive oil for 4 minutes.  Add garlic; cook 1 minute longer.  Remove from heat and stir in cheese, 2/3 c breadcrumbs and 1/4 tsp salt.  Cut a pocket in each chicken breast and fill with spinach mixture.  Place egg in shallow bowl; in another shallow bowl combine pepper, and remaining bread crumbs and salt.  Dip chicken in egg, then coat with breadcrumb mixture.  Bake for 25-30 minutes.
