Recipe Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking pan with cooking spray.
Step 2
Place chicken breast halves between 2 sheets of heavy plastic on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to 1/4-inch thickness.
Step 3
Mix ricotta cheese, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes, and Parmesan cheese together in a bowl.
Step 4
Place 1 slice prosciutto on top of each chicken breast; spread ricotta cheese evenly on top. Roll up chicken and secure with a toothpick.
Step 5
Arrange chicken rolls in the prepared baking pan; cover with 1 cup marinara sauce. Cover baking pan with aluminum foil.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is bubbly, about 15 minutes. Uncover and baste chicken rolls. Continue baking, uncovered, until chicken is no longer pink in the center, about 5 minutes more.
Step 7
Slice each chicken roll into 4 or 5 slices. Spoon remaining 3/4 cup marinara sauce on top.
