  2. In a pan add olive oil and 1 clove of chopped garlic and spinach.  Cook on low until spinach is wilted.
  3. Place spinach, parmesan, ricotta, mozzarella and garlic powder in a glass mixing bowl and mix well.
  4. Lay chicken breast on a clean surface, and spoon mixture onto each on.  Roll up chicken to enclose the spinach.  
  5. In 1 bowl place bread crumbs and in another bowl beat egg.
  6. Dip each chicken breast into egg then into bread crumbs, secure with toothpicks
