How To Make italian stuffed chicken breasts
-
1Carefully slit lengthwise pocket in chicken breasts, starting at the thick side and cutting approximately 3/4 of the way through the width of each breast. Season inside and out with salt and pepper and set aside.
-
2In large bowl make the stuffing by combining the ricotta with the black olives, onion, parsley and garlic salt. Place about a 1/4 cup of stuffing in each pocket of the chicken breasts.
-
3Arrange the chicken in a 9X13" baking pan and cover with the pasta sauce. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees about 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is done. Sprinkle the mozzarella over the top and return to the oven another 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted.
-
4Serve the chicken on top of the fettucini. If you prefer more sauce, you can spoon some of the additional sauce from the baking dish over the pasta as well.
