Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a mixing bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, chopped spinach, Parmesan cheese, fresh basil, and fresh parsley. Season with salt and pepper, and stir until the filling is well-mixed.
Slice each chicken breast horizontally to create a pocket, taking care not to cut all the way through. Generously stuff each pocket with the herbed ricotta mixture, ensuring an even distribution.
Secure the openings of the chicken rolls with toothpicks or kitchen twine to prevent the filling from leaking out during baking.
Drizzle the chicken rolls with olive oil and season the exterior with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
Place the stuffed chicken rolls in a baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove the toothpicks or twine before serving and let the chicken rest for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Notes

Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken, making sure it reaches 165°F to guarantee food safety and a juicy, tender texture.

If the chicken seems to be browning too quickly, you can loosely cover the baking dish with aluminum foil to prevent the exterior from overcooking while the interior finishes.
