Ok all, I know I just posted a lasagna recipe... but I came up with a new recipe this morning and am trying it tonight.

Ingredients for 3 servings:

3 4oz. chicken breast filets

1 can diced tomatoes (low salt if possible)

1/8 c Precious Ricotta cheese

3 tsp italian seasoning mix

Directions:

1 - Preheat oven to 425 F. While oven is preheating prep 13x9 baking pan with foil liner and spray with non stick spray oil.

2 - Get ingredients together and using a filet knife, cut a 2 inch slit into the center of the filets. Using a regular spoon, stuff each filet with a spoonful of ricotta cheese.

3 - Take a tsp of the italian seasoning per filet and season the chicken. Place chicken in baking pan.

4 - Pour the diced tomatoes over the chicken. Cover with foil and place in over for 15 min. After 15 min, remove foil cover and bake for another 15 min.

5 - Remove chicken and serve with your side choices - steamed vegetables, canned veggies and/or steamed rice.

    It is the correct number for sodium, and it is actually low. Compare this level of sodium to a plate of Stuffed Chicken Marsala from Olive Garden at 800 cal and 2280 mg per sodium. Then there is a meal at Chili's Restaurant which has 6600 mg of sodium. Our daily alotment is 2500 mg. So the sodium is good.

    Suggestions - click on the food tab, click on recipes, and then click create recipe and check out the calories when you make your meal so you get the correct nutritional information using your ingredients.

    Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posted and read the recipe.

    Please, if anyone tries this recipe, let me know what you think. You can do different variations and spice it up with the tomato/pepper combination and make a mexican meal too.
