This recipe is so easy and really good. I pounded my chicken breasts to about 1/4 inch and then rolled them around the filling because I only had 4 very small chicken breasts. I also changed the cooking technique because we have had thunderstorms today. I prepared the filling on the stove and then stuffed the chicken breasts and baked in a 400°F oven for 60 minutes. It produced a very moist chicken breast. Thank you for a easy and enjoyable meal Boomette! Made for Rookie Recipe Tag ~Spring~.
