Ingredients

2/3 cup ricotta cheese

1/2 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese

1/2 cup shredded Provolone cheese

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1/4 cup snipped parsley

2 tablespoons fine dry bread crumbs

3 whole chicken breasts, about 3 lb

2 tablespoons butter, melted

Preparation

In a medium bowl combine ricotta, Mozzarella, Provolone, Parmesan, parsley and crumbs. Rinse and pat chicken breasts dry. Bone breasts without removing skin; halve breasts carefully. Separate skin from flesh of each breast, leaving one side attached. Spoon cheese mixture between skin and flesh of each breast. Tuck skin edges under the breast; secure with wooden picks. Place breasts, skin side up, in a shallow baking dish; brush with melted butter.
