How to Make Olive Garden Stuffed Chicken Parmigiana

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Prepare the filling: In a large bowl, combine ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, eggs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  3. Butterfly the chicken breasts: Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, gently pound each breast to about 1/4 inch thickness. This ensures even cooking.
  4. Stuff the chicken: Spoon a generous amount of the cheese filling onto the center of each chicken breast. Fold the sides of the chicken over the filling and secure with toothpicks.
  5. Prepare for baking: Place the stuffed chicken breasts on a baking sheet. If using a flat baking sheet, create a rim with foil to prevent shortening from running off.
  6. Bake: Drizzle the chicken with melted shortening or olive oil. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  7. Serve: Remove the toothpicks and serve immediately. Garnish with extra Parmesan cheese and fresh basil (optional).
