Chicken Capri

SouthBeachDiet.com comments:

Most of us want to spend time enjoying dinner — not cooking dinner. To the rescue: a super-quick, flavorful chicken dish that goes from skillet to table in 30 minutes or less. Now sit down, relax, and savor your meal!

Serves 4

Description
This dish tastes as though it took you all day, but it can be done in 30 minutes. The chicken goes especially well with a crisp garden salad topped with any diet-approved dressing.

Ingredients
1 cup reduced-fat ricotta cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup crushed tomatoes
4 slices reduced-fat mozzarella cheese

Instructions
1. In a blender or food processor, combine the ricotta with the oregano, salt, and pepper. Process to blend.
2. Rub the chicken with the garlic powder. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook 12 minutes per side. Place the chicken breasts, side by side, in a large baking dish and allow to cool.
3. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
4. Spoon 1/4 cup of the cheese mixture and 1/4 cup tomatoes onto each chicken breast. Top each chicken breast with 1 slice mozzarella. Bake for 20 minutes, or until a thermometer inserted in the thickest portion of a breast registers 170°F and the juices run clear.
