A delicious low-carb twist on classic lasagna, featuring a creamy ricotta filling stuffed inside juicy chicken breasts and topped with marinara and melted cheese.

Ingredients

  • ¾ cup ricotta cheese
  • 1¼ cups  shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil, chopped (plus extra for garnish)
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 ¾ lbs)
  • 1½ cup marinara sauce
  • ½ tsp talian seasoning
  • 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Instructions 

Step 1: Prepare the Filling

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a bowl, mix ricotta, ½ cup mozzarella, ¼ cup Parmesan, egg, and chopped basil. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Stuff the Chicken

  • Cut a pocket into each chicken breast. Spoon 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce and ¼ of the ricotta mixture into each pocket.

Step 3: Arrange and Season

  • Place the stuffed chicken in a 9"x13" baking dish. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with Italian seasoning, and drizzle with olive oil.

Step 4: Bake the Chicken

  • Bake for about 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 155°F (68°C). Larger chicken breasts may take up to 35 minutes. Remove any excess juices from the pan.

Step 5: Add Toppings & Broil

  • Switch oven to broil. Top the chicken with the remaining 1 cup marinara, ¾ cup mozzarella, and 2 tablespoons Parmesan. Broil for 4-5 minutes, until the cheese is golden and bubbly and the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 6: Garnish & Serve

  • Sprinkle with additional fresh basil and serve hot.
