Recipe View 10 mins Let the chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in a more tender and flavorful chicken breast. (10 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes to the ricotta cheese mixture.
To toast the walnuts, spread them on a baking sheet and bake at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes, or until fragrant. Alternatively, toast them in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned.
If you don't have bread crumbs, you can use crushed crackers or even finely ground nuts.
The stuffing can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. This makes this dish perfect for entertaining.
Serve with roasted vegetables, a side salad, or your favorite grain for a complete and satisfying meal.
