Juicy Chicken Breasts Stuffed with Spinach and Ricotta

    Cuisine:

    Loved this! Rather than bothering to debone the chicken, I merely stuffed the mixture under the skin, coated the skin with some butter that I had flavoured with garlic and fresh rosemary, marjoram and thyme, and roasted the breasts at 450F for 35 to 40 minutes. The skin was crisp, and the meat moist...great for a weeknight meal or for company.

    Spinach Ricotta-Stuffed Chicken Breasts, This is an adopted recipe originally posted by MeanChef I have left it unchanged it is just as he originally posted it When I discovered this wonderful recipe online, I hadnt yet discovered Zaar It was months later I found Recipezaar and nearly a year later when I realized our favourite stuffed chicken breasts, that we often serve at dinner parties, was in fact a Zaar recipe When I reviewed this in April 04 I mentioned that I often like to serve it with fresh tomato and basil sauce , Loved this! Rather than bothering to debone the chicken, I merely stuffed the mixture under the skin, coated the skin with some butter that I had flavoured with garlic and fresh rosemary, marjoram and thyme, and roasted the breasts at 450F for 35 to 40 minutes The skin was crisp, and the meat moist great for a weeknight meal or for company , These were tasty, but deboning the chicken while trying to keep the skin on was quite a feat!
