Stuff Your Belly With This Basil & Ricotta Stuffed Chicken Breast Recipe
Recipe and photos by Launie Kettler
When it comes to the flavors of summer, basil jumps to the front of the line and raises its hand yelling, “Pick me! Pick Me!” Because, let’s face it, the slightly anise flavor of fresh basil pairs with all of our summer things…
Tomatoes.
Strawberries.
Watermelon.
Mint.
Oh, and let’s not forget grilled chicken! Or, in this case, stuffed chicken. And in this very particular case of utter deliciousness, ricotta and basil stuffed chicken bursting with parmesan and parsley, too!
We cheat and use toothpicks to keep all of the delicious filling inside the chicken, but if you want the filling to spill out au natural and get all toasty in the bottom of the pan, well, we can’t fault you for that!
And if you’d like a delicious sweet and spicy sauce to top off these basil and ricotta stuffed chicken breasts, then we’d highly recommend a healthy spoonful of our favoriteblueberry jalapeno jam recipe.
Now round up your ingredients, get that cutting board ready, grab your F.N. Sharp Chef’s Knife for some chicken and veggie prep, get those steak knives for serving and let's stuff some chicken breasts!

I got these for my husband and he LOVED them! Starting with the box - so well made and packaged - beautifully designed and balanced handle - everything is perfect about the knife. Great job F N Sharp!
Functional, great capacity, and beautifully made. We tossed our old knife block out, but included the old knives in with the new, as there is ample room.
