Cheese Stuffed Chicken Breasts
6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 2 lbs), pounded to 1/4" thickness
1/2 cup ricotta cheese
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/3 cup parmesan cheese
2 tsp fresh basil or 1/2 tsp dried
1 tsp fresh oregano or 1/4 tsp dried
1/4 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup ritz cracker crumbs (about 20 crackers)
3 Tbsp parmesan cheese
1 egg, slightly beaten

Preheat oven to 375. Mix together cracker crumbs and parmesan cheese and place on a shallow dish or pie plate. Set aside. Combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella, parmesan, basil, oregano, and lemon pepper. Lay chicken breasts flat and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Place cheese mixture in the center of each chicken breast. Roll each chicken breast tightly; dip in egg, then in cracker mixture. Place seam-side down in a greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake 30-35 minutes or until cooked through.
