It was eatible but wasn't allll thattt. Sauce need's work. -
I'm giving this 4 stars because I really liked the stuffed chicken breasts but didn't care for the sauce. I ended up throwing it out and making my own. It was more like a gravy than a cream sauce. Thanks for sharing.

I am a working mom of a beautiful little girl Keira Lynn. Watching her grow has been such a joy!
My husband and I were married in May of 2006 on the beautiful island of Kauai.
Since discovering this site, I have been cooking much more and have found some incredible recipes. I absolutely love to cook and try out new recipes, but have a handful of family favorites that I make quite often. My husband loves to cook as much as I do. To avoid anyone monopolizing the kitchen, we have to designate who gets to cook dinner in advance. He specializes in Asian cuisine and I love trying new healthy recipes.
