Lasagna Stuffed Chicken

This cheesy chicken recipe tastes like a plate full of lasagna. It's stuffed with a mixture of ricotta and mozzarella and topped off with marinara and more cheese.
Please note the nutrition information is based on 1 full chicken breast - none of us ate a full chicken breast as this is very filling and rich.
