Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (boneless, skinless, 4-6 oz each) Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Fat-free ricotta cheese
- 0.5 cup (part-skim) Shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 4 pieces (thick slices) Tomato slices
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish using a small amount of olive oil or non-stick spray.
Place the chicken breasts in the baking dish and lightly drizzle with olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and black pepper.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, shredded mozzarella, basil, garlic powder, and a pinch of pepper. Mix well.
Spread an even layer of the cheese mixture over the top of each chicken breast.
Place one tomato slice on top of the cheese mixture on each chicken breast.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the middle (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm, garnished with additional basil if desired.
