"This recipe is based on an idea from "Cooking for Couples", an Australian Women's Weekly cookbook that was published in 1982. You can substitute any filling you like for the salami and parmesan cheese - sundried tomato strips, camembert, brie, mushrooms, cooked bacon, ham, swiss cheese, olives, pesto - you name it!"

Very easy to make and delicious. The filling I used was Parmesan cheese, mushroom and tomato pesto. Served with potato wedges and salad. Thank you Sussan.

DH was really impressed with this chicken. I didn't tell him how easy it was to prepare. I stuffed the butterflied chicken breast with pepperoni and provolone. The center turned into this yummy, gooey, melted mass wrapped in crispy breaded chicken. The potato flakes were terrific here...so light and crisp. This is on my repeat list. Thank you for sharing your recipe!
