Meanwhile in a large skillet over medium high heat add oil and onions.  Cook until translucent, stirring occasionally.  Add garlic.  Cook 1 minute.  Add ground chicken, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.  Cook until chicken is cooked through.  Add 1/2 of marinara sauce.  Stir and reduce heat to low.

Meanwhile combine ricotta, cheese, eggs, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.  Mix until combined using a fork.
