8/24/17

This Stuffed Chicken Breast recipe is the bomb! Its definitely one of my family’s favorite chicken breast recipes, and it’s on the healthier side!

This stuffed chicken breast recipe is made with spinach and ricotta cheese and topped with marinara and italian herbs

Hey friends! As promised, I’m back with another chicken breast recipe. I told you all a few posts back, when I shared my Chicken Parmesan Recipe, that I’d be uploaded more chicken breast recipes for dinner. Well, here I am & I’m going to share this amazing stuffed chicken breast recipe!

Slow simmered in a hearty marinara sauce, this stuffed chicken breast recipe is bursting with flavor

This fast easy chicken recipe is made in under 40 minutes. Therefore it makes the perfect weeknight dinner. This chicken breast recipe needs a few ingredients, so no worries with having to buy a ton of things!

Tender and juicy stuffed chicken with a creamy ricotta cheese and spinach mixture, slow cooked in marinara sauce

We’re going to season the chicken with a some Italian seasoning, and a little salt & pepper. Then we’ll stuff the boneless chicken breast with ricotta, and fresh spinach.

Italian seasoning gives this stuffed chicken breast recipe a taste of Italy along with the hearty marinara sauce

Next the chicken is baked in the oven, and that step only takes about 30 minutes! ( This stuffed chicken breast is just so darn good!!)

Creamy ricotta cheese and tender spinach make up the filling for this stuffed chicken breast recipe

This chicken pairs well with pasta! Try adding it on top of spaghetti, or penne!

Serve this ricotta and spinach stuffed chicken over a bed of tender pasta with hearty marinara sauce for a delicious meal
