Ingredients

  • 4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

  • salt and pepper to taste

  • 1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese

  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained

  • 1 clove garlic, minced

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 1 (8 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese, divided

  • 1 (16 ounce) jar spaghetti sauce

Directions
