# Everything You’ll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

→ Ricotta Filling

02 - 240 g ricotta cheese
03 - 60 g shredded Parmesan cheese
04 - 20 g chopped fresh basil
05 - 2 g onion powder
06 - 2 g garlic powder
07 - 2 g dried oregano
08 - 1 g crushed red pepper flakes

→ Assembly and Topping

09 - 15 ml olive oil
10 - 60 g bread crumbs
11 - 3 g salt
12 - 2 g black pepper ground
13 - 250 ml jarred or homemade marinara sauce
14 - 120 g grated mozzarella cheese

# Steps to Cook:

01 - Heat your oven up to 190°C. Line a sheet pan with some parchment paper or spray it with a little oil so nothing sticks.
02 - Pop the chicken breasts onto your prepared tray and rub every side with olive oil.
03 - Make sure both sides of the chicken get a good sprinkle of salt and pepper.
04 - Dump the ricotta, Parmesan, chopped basil, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and crushed red pepper in a bowl and mix till it’s super creamy.
05 - Keep stirring that mixture till it’s thick and spreadable and looks blended.
06 - Scoop out the cheesy filling and slather it generously all over the chicken breasts.
07 - Evenly shower all the ricotta-covered chicken with breadcrumbs so they’re coated.
08 - Bake for 30 minutes or until the chicken’s cooked through (should hit 75°C inside) and the cheesy top’s got a little color.
09 - As the chicken cooks, stir the marinara sauce as it warms up gently in a small pot.
10 - As soon as the chicken’s out, immediately spoon hot marinara over each breast.
11 - Sprinkle mozzarella cheese across the saucy chicken, making sure you don’t miss a spot.
12 - Slide the pan back in so the mozzarella turns gooey and bubbles—about 5 minutes more.
13 - Let the chicken chill for about five minutes so the juices stay put before cutting.
14 - Grab a plate, serve up the chicken, and pour extra sauce if you’re feeling saucy.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Squeeze in a little lemon juice to your ricotta for a punchy, bright flavor.
02 - Want a crunchier crust? Crank your oven to broil for the last two minutes.
03 - Use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs to cut down the carbs.
04 - Works awesome paired with crispy salad or roasted veggies.
05 - Homemade marinara totally works great if you’ve got time to make your own.
