Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 4 chicken breast, boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 3 cups chopped mushrooms and onions or spinach
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded (more or less to taste)
  • paprika
  • salt
  • pepper
  • vegetable oil or butter - for pan-frying

Instruction

  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
  • In a pan over medium heat, add the oil and heat until a drop of water flicked in it dances.
  • Sauté the mushrooms and onions for roughly 5 minutes, until tender. If using spinach, saute until wilted, between 30 seconds and 1 minute.
  • Allow to cool.
  • Blend with the ricotta cheese and egg.
  • Cut slits into the chicken breasts, about 1/2-1 inch apart and 3/4 of the way through the chicken. The depth of the cuts don't have to be exact just do not cut all the way through the chicken.
  • Stuff the ricotta mixture into each of the cuts.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
  • Sprinkle the cheddar cheese generously on top.
  • Generously sprinkle the paprika.
  • Bake for 40-45 minutes, until the cheese has melted and the juices run clear.
  • Broil for a minute or two until cheese is nicely browned. Enjoy!
