    1 cup tomato sauce
    1/2 cup olive oil
    1 sprig fresh rosemary
    4 -6 basil leaves
    1 teaspoon garlic, minced (amount is to taste, I tend to be heavy on the garlic!)

    salt and pepper
    1 -2 tablespoon dried Italian herb seasoning

    Brush herbs and oil onto chicken breasts and place in hot non-stick frying pan until golden on all sides without burning herbs.
    Line baking dish with foil and spray with 'Pam' or similar product, this makes clean up fast and easy!

    Place approximately 2 tablespoons of ricotta over the tomato sauce.
    Top with 1-2 tablespoons of grated mozzarella an 1-2 teaspoons parmesan.
