Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Lightly spray a baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, spinach, 1/3 c. grated Parmesan cheese, 1 egg, salt, pepper and nutmeg; set aside.
In another bowl, combine bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, remaining 1/3 c. Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
In third bowl, beat 2 eggs.
Lay chicken cutlets down on a working surface; spread 2 T. spinach/cheese mixture on each cutlet; loosely roll up.
Dip chicken roll ups into egg mixture; roll into breadcrumbs; place seam side down in prepared baking dish. Lightly spray tops of the coated chicken with cooking spray, to help them brown.
Bake 25-30 minutes. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. They're done when temperature reaches 165 degrees. Remove from oven, top with 1/2 c. marinara sauce and fresh mozzarella cheese. Place back into oven; bake another 5 minutes or until cheese has melted.
Serve with remaining sauce on the side.
