Dreamy, Skinny Lasagna Topped Chicken

Dreamy, Skinny Lasagna Topped Chicken

Ingredients
  

  • 2 (1 pound) chicken breasts
  • 1 cup fat-free ricotta cheese or cottage cheese
  • 1 egg
  • 3 teaspoons Italian seasoning, divided
  • 2 teaspoons fresh garlic, crushed
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup light shredded mozzarella, divided
  • 1¼ cup jarred pasta, marinara or pizza sauce, I used Classico pizza sauce, divided
  • Salt and Pepper, to taste
  • 4 teaspoons Parmesan cheese, grated

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.  Cut each chicken breast in half to create 4 breasts. Butterfly chicken breasts (split each chicken breast horizontally and open it like a book) Place all 4 chicken breasts in a lightly greased baking dish.
  • In a small mixing bowl, stir together ricotta cheese, egg, 2 teaspoons Italian seasoning, garlic, salt, and ¾ cup mozzarella cheese. Spoon about ¼ cup of sauce on top of each chicken breast. Spread ricotta mixture on top of sauce. Drizzle remaining pasta sauce over chicken. Top with each with 1 tablespoon mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle each with 1 teaspoon Parmesan cheese.  Finally, top each with remaining Italian seasonings and season with salt and pepper.
  • Bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes, until chicken is cooked through.
  • This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled. Leftovers freeze great!
