Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil chopped
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the filling by mixing the ricotta, Parmesan, parsley, basil, garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  3. Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper and pound them until they are about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Spread a generous portion of the ricotta filling onto each chicken breast, leaving a small border around the edges.
  5. Roll each chicken breast tightly from one end to the other, securing it with toothpicks or kitchen twine.
  6. In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat and sear the chicken rolls on all sides until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  7. Transfer the seared chicken rolls to a baking dish and pour chicken broth around them.
  8. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes.
  9. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing for browning on top.
  10. Let the chicken rolls rest for a few minutes before slicing.
