Lasagna Stuffed Chicken is a creative twist on the classic lasagna, with tender chicken breasts stuffed with a creamy ricotta filling, topped with marinara sauce, melted mozzarella, and fresh basil. A healthier, lower-carb alternative to traditional lasagna.

Ingredients

1 cup ricotta

1/2 cup Parmesan

1 egg

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

2 cups marinara (or low carb pizza sauce)

1 cup mozzarella

5 medium chicken breasts

Fresh basil, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing horizontally into the thickest part, being careful not to slice all the way through.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, Parmesan, egg, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Stuff each chicken breast with a generous amount of the ricotta mixture, sealing with toothpicks to keep the filling inside.
  4. Heat oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the stuffed chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until browned.
  5. Pour marinara sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top.
  6. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the cheese is melted.
  7. Remove from the oven, let rest for a few minutes, then serve with fresh basil on top.

Notes

Variations: Add spinach, swap ricotta for cottage cheese or cream cheese, or add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.

Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Reheating: Reheat in the microwave or oven at 350°F (175°C) with foil.
