Three Cheese, Spinach Stuffed Chicken

Three Cheese, Spinach Stuffed Chicken:

2 medium chicken breast pieces, pounded to 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup frozen spinach, dethawed and drained
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup cooked bacon, finely chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 egg
1 1/2 cup Barilla Marinara Sauce (or your favorite marinara)
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
toothpicks

Preheat your oven to 350 degrees.

Lay your chicken on a flat surface and pound out to 1/2 inch thickness. Season the chicken pieces with the salt and pepper.

In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta, bacon, garlic, egg, parmesan and mozzarella (save a few pinches of the shredded cheeses to sprinkle over the top of the chicken later) to make your filling.

Spoon a small amount of the filling into the chicken pieces, roll them up, and close shut using your toothpicks. Place them into a deep glass baking dish and pour the marinara over the top of the chicken. Sprinkle some cheese over the top.

Cook for 45-60 minutes or until the chicken has cooked through and the juices run clear. Serve with a salad and garlic bread.
