For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the spinach and ricotta filling. To prevent the bacon from shrinking too much during baking, use a higher quality, thicker-cut bacon. If you don't have Italian seasoning on hand, you can create your own blend using equal parts dried oregano, basil, rosemary, and thyme. Ensure chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
