Ricotta and Sun Dried Tomato Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Stuffed Chicken Breasts
From Lose to Win Group

This is what we had for dinner Saturday night and my daughter BEGGED to take the leftovers home.  She said it tasted "fresh."

4 chicken breast halves- use the flat side of a meat cleaver and flatten these until they are about 1/2" thin
2/3 C Part-skim ricotta cheese
3/4 C chopped fresh basil
4 sun-dried tomatoes (not oil packed) finely chopped
Fresh garlic (we love garlic so I used probably 1 T.)
Mrs. Dash salt free seasoning

In a small bowl mix the ricotta, basil, tomatoes and garlic together.  Spread mixture on chicken breasts.  Roll chicken breasts up tightly and secure with a toothpick.  Sprinkle generously with Mrs. Dash.  Bake at 425 for 20-25 minutes.

I also served a whole-wheat bowtie pasta with a sauce we like made with stewed tomatoes (I bottle my own so they are low in sodium and no sugar) and sliced zucchini.  Just simmer them together with a little garlic and lots of Italian seasoning.  Mix a little cornstarch with some of the tomato juice and dump it back in to thicken.
