Brandon's Stuffed Chicken Breasts

 

Ingredients:

8 - 5oz Chicken Breasts
15oz container of Low Fat Ricotta Cheese
2Tbsp minced Garlic
5 baby Portabella Mushrooms
1tsp chopped Rosemary
4oz Fat Free Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
Extra Virgin Olive Oil
1 jar of Ragu Chunky Super Vegetable Primavera

Directions:

Cheese Mixture

Saute minced garlic and rosemary in 1 tsp of olive oil.  Heat until the flavors are released but don't let the garlic brown.  In a bowl, combine the garlic and rosemary with the ricotta cheese and stir until thoroughly combined.

Chicken



Using a meat mallet, place chicken breast bottom side up between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound until breast becomes thin.  Do this with all of the chicken breasts.  When finished, lay chicken flat, bottom side up and spread with cheese mixture.  Place slices of mushrooms on top of cheese mixture.  Tightly roll chicken breasts up and secure the roll with toothpicks.  Sear the rolled chicken breasts in olive oil in a hot skillet, allowing each side to get golden brown.  When finished, place stuffed chicken breasts into baking dish that is sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.  Spread evenly the sauce onto the tops of all the stuffed chicken breasts.  Cover and place in 350°F oven for 45 minutes.  Remove from oven and evenly distribute the 4oz of mozzarella cheese to the tops of the rolled chicken breasts.  Return to oven, uncovered for an additional 10 minutes.

*NOTE*  Before consuming, make sure that all of the Stuffed Chicken Breasts have an internal temperature of 165°F or higher, as all poultry and stuffed meats must reach this minimum required internal temperature to be safe for consumption.
