Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Combine Ricotta, mozzarella, 2 TB parmesan, bread crumbs, and basil in a small bowl. Carefully separate skin from flesh of each chicken breast, leaving one side attached. Spoon half of cheese mixture between skin and flesh of each breast half. Pull skin edges under breast; secure with wooden toothpicks. Place chicken, skin side up, in shallow baking pan. Bake uncovered until chicken is cooked through and golden brown, about 35 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining parmesan cheese. Serve.
