Step-by-Step Instructions

Pound the chicken to an even thickness of about ¼ inch between plastic wrap.
Season both sides of the pounded chicken with salt and black pepper.
Mix ricotta, parmesan, garlic, herbs, and lemon zest in a bowl until smooth.
Place filling on one end of each chicken breast, roll tightly and secure with toothpicks.
