Ingredients
Chicken and Filling
- 4 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon marinara sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a small bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, parmesan cheese, marinara sauce, dried basil, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until thoroughly combined.
- Place each chicken breast on a clean cutting board. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut a pocket into the side of each chicken breast, being careful not to cut all the way through.
- Stuff each chicken breast pocket with the prepared cheese mixture. Press gently to close any openings.
- Place the stuffed chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
