Instructions
0 Preheat the oven to 400℉ 1 Slice each chicken breast in half down the middle to create two thinner breast. 2 Place the chicken breast in 9x13 in baking dish and season with salt, pepper, parsley and garlic powder. 3 In a bowl mix together the ricotta cheese, spinach, parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, pepper and parsley. 4 Evenly spread Ricotta mixture over the chicken breast, pour the pasta sauce over the chicken and cover with tin foil. 5 Bake at 400℉ for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken reaches and internal temperature of 165℉ 6 While the chicken is cooking boil the noodles and cook the zucchini.I just bought a frozen option for this, but to keep this budget friendly, you can zoodle your own or even just chop 2 zucchini and fry/roast them to serve with your chicken istead of noodles.*** This is a totally optional step, this dish is great over noodles, but I am always trying to eat as many veggies as possible and try to cut back on carbs in the evenings for dinner! 7 When the chicken is done, top with parmesan cheese and fresh basil if you have any, serve or noodles and enjoy!View original recipe
