Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts (1 pound)
1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
1 egg
3 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
2 teaspoons fresh garlic, crushed
½ teaspoon salt
1 cup light shredded mozzarella, divided
1¼ cup jarred pasta, marinara or pizza sauce, I used Classico pizza sauce, divided
Salt and Pepper, to taste
4 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cut each chicken breast in half to create 4 breasts. Butterfly chicken breasts (split each chicken breast horizontally and open it like a book) Place all 4 chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish.
2. In a small mixing bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, egg, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and ¾ cup mozzarella cheese. Spoon about ¼ cup of sauce onto one half of each chicken breast. Spread ricotta mixture on top of sauce. Drizzle remaining pasta sauce over chicken. Top with each with 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese. Finally, top each with remaining Italian seasonings and season with salt and pepper.
4. Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
5. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. Leftovers freeze great!
Makes 4 servings.
