  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix together the ricotta cheese, spinach, mozzarella, Parmesan, and fresh herbs. Season with salt and pepper.
  3. Lay each chicken breast flat and place a portion of the ricotta mixture in the center.
  4. Roll the chicken up tightly and secure with toothpicks if needed.

  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Notes

For extra juiciness, tent the dish with foil during the first 15 minutes of baking. These rolls can be prepared the night before and refrigerated; just bake directly from the fridge, adding a few extra minutes.
