Ingredients
– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup ricotta cheese
– ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
– ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 tablespoon olive oil
– 1 cup mushrooms, sliced
– ½ cup Marsala wine
– Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
Creating Stuffed Chicken Marsala is a simple process if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat Your Oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Stuffing: In a bowl, mix ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, spinach, garlic, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
3. Prepare the Chicken: With a sharp knife, create a pocket in each chicken breast by slicing them horizontally, being careful not to cut all the way through.
4. Stuff the Chicken: Spoon the cheese and spinach mixture into each pocket, ensuring they are filled generously.
5. Sear the Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the stuffed chicken breasts and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Add Mushrooms: Once the chicken is browned, remove it from the skillet and add sliced mushrooms to the same pan. Sauté until softened.
7. Deglaze the Pan: Pour in the Marsala wine, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes.
8. Combine: Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon some of the sauce over the top, and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
9. Transfer to Oven: Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
10. Serve: Once cooked, garnish with fresh parsley before plating.
