What You'll Need

  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves, pounded to 1/4-inch thickness, (1-1/2 pounds total)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • 1/2 cup ricotta cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoon Italian-flavored panko bread crumbs
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/8 teaspoon paprika

Muffin Tin Chicken Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 6-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
  2. Season chicken breasts with 1/4 teaspoon each of salt and pepper; set aside. 
  3. In a medium bowl, combine ricotta, mozzarella, and Parmesan cheeses, the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and remaining ½ teaspoon pepper; mix well.
  4. Spoon mixture evenly onto center of each chicken breast.
  5. Wrap chicken breast around filling, making sure filling is tucked inside the chicken. Place each stuffed breast seam-side down in a cup of the muffin tin. In a small bowl, combine bread crumbs and oil; sprinkle over chicken then sprinkle with paprika. Place muffin tin on a baking sheet.
  6. Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until no pink remains and juices run clear. Run a knife around the edges and remove to a platter.
