Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a baking dish with cooking oil.
Cut a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast. Season with salt, pepper, oregano, garlic and add a little drizzle of olive oil, using your hands to rub the seasonings and oil into the chicken.
In a small bowl, whisk the egg with ricotta cheese, parmesan, fresh parsley, thyme, 2 T. basil, and a pinch of sea salt and pepper; whisk well to combine.
Stuff ricotta mixture equally into each chicken breast pocket; gently place stuffed breasts into the prepared dish. Spoon marinara evenly over the chicken breasts. Cover.
Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
Arrange a mozzarella slice over each chicken breast; bake uncovered for 2 more minutes, or until cheese is melted.
Serve garnished with freshly chopped basil.
