Stuffed Chicken Breasts
Makes 4 servings.
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
salt and pepper to taste
1 (15 ounce) container part-skim ricotta cheese
1 (10 ounce) package chopped frozen spinach, drained
1 clove garlic, minced
2 eggs, beaten
1 (8 ounce) package shredded low-fat mozzarella cheese, divided
1 (16 ounce) jar sugar-free spaghetti sauce
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Slit open on the side for stuffing;
set aside.
In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, spinach, garlic, eggs and ¾ of the cheese. Mix
well and stuff each breast with ¼ of the mixture; secure with toothpicks and place
stuffed breasts in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Pour sauce over all and
sprinkle with remaining cheese.
Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 60 minutes, or until chicken is cooked
through and juices run clear.
