Ingredients

• 1 cup ricotta, skim
• 1/2 tsp ground oregano
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp black pepper
• 4 breasts, bone and skin removed chicken breasts
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 2 tbsps virgin olive oil
• 1 cup chopped or sliced tomatoes
• 4 slices mozzarella cheese

Preparation

Step 1

In a blender or food processor, combine the ricotta with the oregano, salt, and pepper. Process to blend.
Rub the chicken with the garlic powder. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook for 12 minutes per side.

Place the chicken breasts, side by side, in a large baking dish and allow to cool.

Preheat the oven to 350° F (180° C).
Spoon 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture and 1/4 cup tomatoes onto each chicken breast. Top each chicken breast with 1 slice mozzarella.

Bake for 20 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of a breast registers 170° F (75° C) and the juices run clear.
