Here is how you make ricotta chicken spinach surprise!:

1. preheat oven to 350?2. pound chicken breasts flat in a large ziploc baggie3. in a big bowl mix all other ingredients together, sans the marinara sauce & chicken4. in the very bottom of a glass baking dish (the smaller rectangley one) spread a few spinach leaves and a couple of spoonfuls of marinara sauce [you can also lightly spray the inside so this doesn't stick, but I've found that that's not needed if you put something into the bottom under the chicken]5. layer: one pounded out chicken breast, 1/2 of the cheese and spinach mixture, & repeat [you can add a bit of marinara sauce to either the top or the layers, but I find that it makes it too watery. I prefer to spread some sauce on my plate before serving, then there is just enough when you scoop up a piece]6. bake for 40 minutes (or until your chicken is done) 7. sprinkle a little more Parmesan on top (or mozzarella would be good, whatever you prefer)8. put back in for about 5 minutes on broil and brown the cheese to your liking :)9. remove from oven and let cool for about 5-10 minutes before serving10. ENJOYI slice mine while it is still in the pan into 4 servings and prior to placing it on my dish, I put down a couple of spoonfuls of spaghetti sauce.Serving Size:?4
