I tried this recipe tonight, and it was excellent! I didn't use chicken breasts with skin on, instead I used boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut a pocket into them to hold the filling. Then since I couldn't pick up a hint of the nutmeg in the filling I added a pinch or two more of the nutmeg. I also sprinkled on onion powder and granulated garlic. The house smelled soooo good while it was baking. My picky little ones inhaled this. KEEPER!!! when the little ones eat with no complaints. Thank you for posting a terrific recipe! -
The family raved and I love how I've learned to squeeze compliments out of them until they squeak. -
This sounds really good to me! I am going to try it this week. I raise chickens and I am always looking for something to try! Thank you! I'll let you know how it comes out! Jelly
