Ricotta-stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe
2 chicken breasts 1 cup lowfat ricotta cheese 1/4 cup reduced fat mozarella cheese, shredded parm cheese pepper basil leaves, shredded 1/2 bottle tomato sauce (I used Bertolli organic) 1. Combine ricotta, mozarella, pepper to taste, parm cheese in a bowl. 2. Make a large pocket in each chicken breast. 3. Stuff each chickie with the cheese mixture. 4. Pour a thin layer of sauce on bottom of crock pot. Place chicken on top. 5. Pour some more sauce over chicken (depends on how much sauce you want). 6. Crock for a few hours (I did on high for 3). 7. Sprinkle parm and basil on top. Serve with pasta or bread...Mmmm |

| yummmmm, that sounds good...and i like the crock pot idea! |
| Delish, but see... healthier than how I would have done it. I like the brown crispy taste of the breading so I'd have to fry only until brown and then bake the rest of the way. I will have to do this b/c we love stuffing our breasts. |
| yum, and a nice salad, bottle of white wine and fresh crusty bread. |
| i don't have a crock pot. can this be baked or simmered? |
| Of course! I'd just cook at 375 for 30-40 min. depending on oven!
I will try this once our oven works, add egg and breadcrumbs around the chicken. Fry each side for 2-4 min. then put the sauce and chicken in the glass dish and bake at 350 for 20 min. (how I do my other stuffed chicken recipes) |

We had it last night with some steamed brocolli and cauliflower. Mmmm. Oh, and spinach noodles with tomato, olive oil and parsley. |
If that's what I grab first, then sure.  I'd probably grab the sargento's provolone/mozzarella mix though, and I don't think it comes in reduced fat. 
I'm all far reducing fat, but I don't cry when we eat something that isn't the healthiest. We'd accompany it with a healthy salad although sometimes top it off w/my homemade dressing which is 10x more yummy than ranch (and we know a good ranch isn't fat free)
Overall, we're a lot healthier than most families. I think.  |
| This does sound really yummy! I'll have to put that on my list. |
