Flavorful Lemon Herb Ricotta Stuffed Chicken Recipe

Today’s Culinary Creation: Lemon Herb Ricotta Stuffed Chicken Breast

As the weather starts to cool down and cozy dinners become a staple in my kitchen, I find myself craving comforting dishes with a burst of bright flavors. Today, I’m excited to share my recipe for Lemon Herb Ricotta Stuffed Chicken Breast. This dish is perfect for a special occasion or a simple weeknight dinner that will impress your loved ones.

For this recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

• chicken breast (4 fillets)
• ricotta cheese (200g)
• lemon zest (1 lemon)
• fresh parsley (30g)
• garlic cloves (2)
• salt and pepper to taste
• olive oil (30ml)

To prepare this dish, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• chef’s knife
• cutting board
• mixing bowl
• meat mallet
• baking dish

Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, lemon zest, finely chopped parsley, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch. Spoon the ricotta mixture onto each chicken breast and spread it evenly. Roll up the chicken breasts and secure them with toothpicks.

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the stuffed chicken breasts until golden brown on all sides. Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.

Once cooked, remove the toothpicks and slice the stuffed chicken breasts into rounds. Serve hot with your favorite sides and enjoy the flavorful combination of lemon, herbs, and creamy ricotta.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 800g, with 4 servings. Each serving weighs around 200g. This dish is approximately 350 calories per serving.

For a unique twist, try adding a sprinkle of parmesan cheese on top of the stuffed chicken breasts before baking. The cheese will create a golden crust and add an extra layer of flavor to the dish.

I hope you give this Lemon Herb Ricotta Stuffed Chicken Breast recipe a try and make it your own. Feel free to experiment with different herbs or cheeses to suit your taste preferences. Happy cooking!
