Ricotta Stuffed Chicken Breasts

A few years ago, when I was on the South Beach diet, I came across this recipe. It immediately became a family favorite! Coming from an Italian background, I felt compelled to make a few changes. I don't know how SB friendly it is with my changes, but I'm sure it isn't too far off base.

Ingredient

Food ration :

12 servings

6 large

boneless chicken breasts

15 oz

ricotta cheese

4 oz

grated mozzarella

egg

1 tbsp

parsley

1 tsp

garlic powder

1 tsp

salt

1/2 tsp

pepper

30 oz

tomato sauce

1/2 cup

red wine

1/2 tsp

oregano

1/2 tsp

marjoram

1/4 tsp

sweet basil

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F.

* Step 2

Divide chicken breast into two pieces, horizontally, to create thin "sheets" of meat. Place between pieces of plastic wrap and pound thin, but try to avoid making holes. You can also use a tortilla press to thin the meat. Lightly sprinkle each piece of chicken with salt and pepper.

* Step 3

In a small bowl, combine filling ingredients. Spoon equal amounts of filling into the center of each "sheet" of chicken. Roll or wrap the chicken around the filling and place into a large, greased baking dish. Place in oven for about 15 minutes..
