Ingredients:

Serving

2 tsps olive oil
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 package (10 oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained. i used about 3 ounces of spinach..it was a perfect amount.
8 oz of part-skim ricotta cheese
1 tbsp. minced garlic
1 tbsp chopped parsley
4 tsp. parmesan cheese
2 egg whites, divided
1 frozen whole-wheat bread dough loaf(16 oz), thawed , not risen

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350*. Lightly coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. I use my pizza stone covered with parchment paper.
Cut chicken into small pieces.
In a large , nonstick frying pan, heat olive oil over medium high heat. Add chicken and saute, turning occasionally until golden brown, about10 to 12 min.
In a small bowl, combine the spinach, ricotta cheese, garlic, parsley, parmesan cheese and 1 of the egg whites. Mix until well blended, Set aside.
In another bowl, using a wire whisk or fork beat the remaining egg white lightly.
Cut the bread dough into 6 equal-sized pieces.
On a floured surface, press each piece into a circle.
Using a rolling pin, roll each dough piece into ovals 8 inches long and 6 inches wide. Brush the edges of the dough ovals with the lightly beaten egg white.
Place 1/6 of the chicken cubes in the center of each oval.
Add 1/6 of the spinach mixture to each.
Fold the dough over the filling, pressing the edges together.
Crimp with a fork and place on the prepared pan.
Bake until browned and crispy, about 15 to 20 min.
Serve immediately.
Goes nice with a salad.
