Lasagna Stuffed Chicken

INGREDIENTS

1 Cup Ricotta
1/2 Cup Parmesan
1 Egg
1 Tablespoon Italian Seasoning
1/2 Teaspoon Salt
1/4 Teaspoon Pepper
2 Cups Marinara * I use my low carb pizza sauce
1 Cup Mozzarella
5 Chicken Breasts medium
Fresh Basil to serve


INSTRUCTIONS

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a bowl, combine ricotta, parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper. Set aside, this is your “lasagna stuffing”.
• Generously salt and pepper each side of the chicken breast and gently pat to adhere.
• Slice chicken breast in half to form a “pocket”.
• Place a spoonful of marinara in each chicken breast. Use the back of the spoon to spread and even out this layer.
• Spoon an even amount of lasagna stuffing in each of the chicken breasts.
• Cover with the remaining marinara.
• Sprinkle mozzarella on top.
• Bake in the oven for 35 minutes. Ensure the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink** — if using a meat thermometer, the chicken should be at least 165 F in the thickest part.
• Serve with fresh basil and enjoy!
