This ricotta and spinach stuffed chicken recipe by OrsaraRecipes on YouTube is a great way to eat chicken breast because the ricotta and spinach add great flavor to each bite. The melted cheese on top makes this recipe extra cheesy, and be served with pasta, rice, or salad. He’s such a cute guy cooking away and that’s why I love this tutorial. Plus, the instructions for this tutorial are easy to follow along with and it’s very detailed. This is an easy recipe to make in large portions if you have a big family or want to meal prep for the week.
Ingredients:
- 3 Chicken Breasts, butterflied and pounded, seasoned with salt and black pepper
- 1 cup Whole Milk Ricotta
- 1 cup Italian Blend Shredded Cheese
- 8 oz. Spinach
- 2 Garlic Cloves, chopped
- 1/2 cup White Wine, dry (like Chardonnay)
- Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 1/2 cup chicken stock, optional
Directions:
First, add a drizzle of olive oil into a pan and saute the garlic over medium heat for about a minute, until golden. Cook the ricotta and spinach stuffing and mix it into a large bowl. Then, place the butterflied chicken breast on a cutting board and add a layer of the ricotta and spinach stuffing over each chicken breast and fold them over to close with long toothpicks.
Next, place the stuffed chicken on a large pan with olive oil over medium to high heat. Cook the chicken on each side for about three minutes and pour in the wine for a couple of minutes allowing the alcohol to evaporate. Then, transfer the stuffed chicken into the oven for 25 minutes.

Overall, this is a good recipe, and I love chicken dinners. Also, it’s a good way to eat some vegetables too.
