  • 1 Tbsp dried each of basil and parsley
  • 2 Tbsp garlic salt divided

  2. Cut a deep pocket into the side of each chicken breast.
  3. Season each breast with salt, pepper, Italian seasoning and garlic salt.
  4. In a small bowl whisk the egg together with ricotta cheese, parmesan, fresh parsley, thyme, 2 Tablespoons of basil, and a pinch of sea salt and pepper. Whisk well to combine mixture.
  5. Take a cast iron pan or regular pan and sear both sides of the breast, 3 minutes on each side.
  6. Stuff the ricotta mixture equally into each chicken breast pocket and if not using an oven safe pan, gently place the stuffed breasts into the prepared dish.
  7. Place your mozzarella or Gouda slices on each piece of chicken. Spoon crushed tomatoes or pasta sauce evenly over the chicken breasts.
  8. Cover with foil and bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through.
