Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In medium size saucepan, over medium heat, bring the tomatoes,
the tomato juice, green pepper, onion, garlic, salt, pepper and oregano to a boil. Reduce heat to low;
cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened-about 20 minutes. Meanwhile, pound each
breast to 1/4 in thickness. In a small bowl combine ricotta cheese, egg yolk, parsley and
parmesan cheese. Spread 1 tbsp of mixture in center of each piece, leaving a 1/2 inch border
all around. Roll up and set aside. Spoon half the tomato sauce into an 8 inch pie plate or baking dish.
