8.    Add a small amount of ricotta cheese to the center of the chickens.
9.    Tightly roll up the chickens with the filling and allow to chill and form.

11.    Heat a skillet with a small amount of olive oil and when it just begins to form a light haze, add the chicken and brown evenly on all sides.
12.    Remove to an oven-proof dish and bake at 400 F until an internal temperature of 160 F, carry-over cooking to 165 F will be ensured.
13.    Allow chicken to rest for 10-15 minutes before slicing and serving with your favorite tomato sauce, see chefs demonstration.
