Stuffed Chicken Breasts
"This recipe is good for those on a budget. It looks pretty on the plate, and is tasty too. I prefer things with a little spice, so I usually add a couple of dashes of cajun seasoning in addition to the paprika."

Made this tonight with mashed potatos and peas and it turned out excellant. I attempted a photo too, but I am so new at the photo thing. For dh's breast I put a piece if pepperjack cheese inside cause he loves it. -
It seemed very basic, but we liked it. It was quick and easy. I would have liked a gravy or a sauce with it to add to the taste. Maybe some cheese...? Nkenge -
Very good meal. Just enough for the two us. I used Herbed Seasoned Stuffing. Stayed with your seasonings. I served it with Chicken Gravy. Sliced Tomatoes and Cubumbers. Thank You VERY Much.
