Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Pound breasts to about 1/4". Lay breasts flat in baking dish. Combine Ricotta and parsley. Spread cheese mixture across the top of the chicken. Add half of the 1/4 cup of the sauce to each piece of chicken and spread. Top with 1/2 of the mozzarella cheese. Gently roll chicken. Place in pan so the edge left from rolling is underneath the chicken. Sprinkle parmesan cheese on top of the roll and on edges and pat into chicken. This will create a little bit of a crust.
Bake for 30 minutes uncovered.
Reduce heat to 325.
remove chicken from oven. Top each chicken piece with 2 Tbsp pizza sauce and the rest of the mozzarella cheese. Bake for up to 30 more minutes. Let rest for 5 minutes prior to serving.
