Want to make something different with chicken breasts and that’s also a quick week night meal??

Try these delicious stuffed breasts. I must confess I really hate dry anything, particularly dry chicken breasts! I am the only one in my family who WANTS to eat them as opposed to the more higher calorie dark meat the rest of the family wants. So I decided to stuff these babies so MY babies would eat them!!! AND eat them they sure did!

It’s a bit high in fat due to the ricotta and ham, BUT totally worth it when you are in need of a change from the typical chicken breast meal. Worth every bit of the 7 Points+ !!

Every once in awhile its necessary to change your eating patterns and choices so you don’t fall into the trap of dieting/healthy eating boredom! This is so luscious because of the ricotta it almost tastes like you are cheating! I think you’ll be pretty happy to see the nutritional info here. Consider making this every so often and don’t forget to include a healthy veggie for a complete meal! Why not try some baked sweet potatoes and brussles sprouts with bacon? SO good!
