Spinach and Ricotta Chicken Roll Ups with Marinara Sauce: Kristina

This recipe is easy and a great healthy replacement for Lasagna. Yummy as well!

Filling
1 cup part-skim ricotta cheese
1/3 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp garlic powder
ground black pepper, to taste
1 10 oz pkg frozen spinach, thawed, and squeezed dry
1 lg egg

Chicken
6 (6 oz) skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
Italian seasoning to garnish
Marinara sauce of your choosing (look for one without added sugar, or make your own)


Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare filling using all filling ingredients.

Place chicken breasts between two sheets of heavy plastic wrap. Pound to 1/4 inch thickness using a mallet or rolling pin (you don't have to pound very hard). Divide and spread filling mixture evenly over chicken, and roll up each breast. Place seam-side down in 9X13'' baking dish. Bake for 30 min. Pour heated marinara sauce over chicken when served.
