Ingredients
  • 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup low-fat Ricotta cheese
  • 1/2 cup Yukon gold potato, cooked, mashed
  • 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 quarts low sodium chicken broth
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tablespoon each: parsley, marjoram, tarragon, finely minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Make pocket in each chicken breast by slicing lengthwise through thickest portion; set aside.

Combine Ricotta cheese, potato, Parmesan cheese and herbs; mix until blended. Place about 1/4 cup of stuffing mixture into each chicken breast. Roll each breast into a log and wrap with plastic wrap, sealing each end to form a "sausage."

Bring chicken broth to a boil; reduce heat to simmer. Place chicken breasts in broth and gently simmer until firm, about 20 minutes. Remove chicken breasts from broth. Bring broth to boil and reduce to 4 cups. Remove plastic wrap from each chicken breast. Slice and serve in broth.
