This is baked ricotta chicken — juicy chicken smothered in a creamy ricotta-Parmesan layer, topped with melted mozzarella, and baked in marinara until everything comes together. The sauce thickens in the oven, turning into something you can spoon straight over pasta.
What makes this version work is how simply it’s put together. There’s no heavy sauce to manage and no extra steps to babysit — just a straightforward bake that delivers every time.
About This Ricotta Chicken
This is a baked recipe, not a skillet dish or a creamy stovetop chicken. It’s structured as a plated chicken dinner rather than a casserole. The ricotta adds creaminess without turning into a sauce, and the marinara stays where it belongs instead of becoming watery.
