Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup roasted red peppers, sliced
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups marinara sauce
- Fresh basil for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Prep the Chicken: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
- Make the Filling: In a bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Fill the Chicken: Spread a portion of the cheese mixture on each chicken breast, then top with roasted red peppers. Roll the chicken tightly and secure with toothpicks.
- Assemble the Dish: Spread a layer of marinara sauce on the bottom of a baking dish. Place the rolled chicken seam-side down in the dish and cover with remaining marinara sauce.
- Bake: Cover the dish with foil and bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly.
- Serve: Remove toothpicks from the chicken rolls, garnish with fresh basil if desired, and serve hot.
