Baked Chicken with Spinach Surprise

4 thin, boneless chicken breast
2-3 good handfuls of fresh baby spinach
1 T. butter
1/4 tsp. my house seasoning (equal parts onion powder, garlic powder and black pepper, store in an airtight container)
4 slices deli ham
shredded Italian blend cheese
1/2 C. Italian bread crumbs
1 T. grated parmesan cheese

Combine the bread crumbs and parmesan cheese on a plate, set aside. Melt the butter in a pan over med. high heat. Add in the spinach and house seasoning and cook until the spinach has wilted. Remove from heat and set aside. Take the chicken, one breast at a time and place in a Ziploc bag and using a mallet, pound out just a bit...not too thin. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining chicken. Top each breast with a slice of ham, then a little of the spinach and the add a little bit of the cheese. Roll up (I did not use toothpicks, mine held together pretty well, use toothpicks to secure if you desire) and dredge through the breadcrumbs to coat. Place in a tin foil lined baking dish, lightly sprayed with cooking spray. Repeat with remaining chicken. Bake in a 450 degree oven for 25 minutes, remove and top with a little more cheese and return to the oven for 5 minutes.
