Lasagna Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe

This recipe is compliments of The Stay at Home Chef but with some subtle modifications that I made to the original recipe. 

Ingredients

2 chicken breasts
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1 egg
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning divided
2 cloves crushed garlic
½ teaspoon salt
2 cups shredded mozzarella divided
1 cup marinara sauce
Black Pepper

Instructions

Butterfly chicken breasts and place into a lightly greased baking dish.


In a small mixing bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, egg, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and 1 cup mozzarella cheese.


Spoon about 1/4 cup of sauce onto one half of each chicken breast. Spread ricotta mixture on top of the sauce and fold chicken breasts over to close.


Drizzle remaining marinara sauce over chicken. Top with remaining mozzarella cheese and black pepper. 


Bake in a 400 degree oven for 25-30 minutes, until the thickest part of the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
