👨‍🍳 Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper to taste.

Slit open on the side for stuffing; set aside.

In a medium bowl, combine the ricotta, spinach, garlic, eggs and 3/4 of the cheese.

Mix well and stuff each breast with 1/4 of the mixture; secure with toothpicks and place stuffed breasts in a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish.

Pour sauce over all and sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 45 to 60 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear.
