Heavenly Chicken

• 1/2 cup scallion, sliced
• 4 tablespoons butter or 4 tablespoons margarine
• 4 tablespoons flour
• 2 cups skim milk
• 1 cup cracker crumb
• 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 8 boneless chicken breast halves, skinned
• 2 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, cooked according to package directions and well-drained
• 1 cup cooked cubed ham

1. In a saucepan, saute the scallions in butter until tender. Whisk in flour; whisk in milk all at once. Bring to a boil and cook and stir until the sauce is thickened and bubbly.
2. Meanwhile, combine the cracker crumbs (breadcrumbs work too in a pinch) and cheese. Dip chicken breast halves in the crumb mixture to coat lightly; retain remaining crumb mixture. (Note: If freezing the meal for later, seal the remaining crumb mixture in a freezer bag).
3. Arrange the breast halves in a greased 13 x 9-inch baking dish.
4. Stir the spinach and ham into the white sauce. Spoon the spinach mixture over the chicken. (Can freeze at this point for later; tape the crumb mixture bag to the side. Defrost before baking.).
5. Bake, covered, at 350u0b0F for 60 to 75 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle with crumbs. Bake 10 minutes more.
