2 chicken breasts
1 c. whole milk Ricotta cheese
1 egg
3 t. Italian seasoning, divided
2 cloves crushed garlic
½ t. salt
2 c. shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided
1 c. marinara sauce
salt and pepper, to taste
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a baking dish large enough to hold all chicken breasts.
Butterfly chicken breasts; place into prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, stir together Ricotta cheese, egg, 2 t. Italian seasoning, garlic, salt and 1 c. Mozzarella cheese.
Spoon about ¼ c. sauce onto one half of each chicken breast; spread Ricotta mixture on top of the sauce; fold chicken breasts over to close like a book.
Drizzle remaining marinara sauce over chicken; top with remaining Mozzarella cheese; sprinkle with remaining Italian seasoning; season with salt and pepper.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, until chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
2-4 servings.
