Grated parmesan and freshly chopped parsley for garnish
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise without cutting them completely through to the other side. You want to leave a small flap so that they can be stuffed, and then the top can be folded back over.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt and pepper to taste, and 1 ½ cups of the Mozzarella cheese. Stir to combine well.
Using the ½ cup portion, spread some marinara sauce on the inside of each chicken breast.
Top the inside of the chicken breast with a large helping over the ricotta mixture, and fold the top of the chicken breast back over it.
Using the 1 cup portion, spread some more marinara sauce on the top of each closed and stuffed chicken breast.
Top each chicken breast with the remaining 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
Bake the chicken for 20-25 minutes until completely cooked through.
Serve topped with some parmesan cheese and freshly chopped parsley for garnish.
