Stuffed Chicken Breasts

The shape of the chicken breast makes it ideal for stuffing. There are two ways, actually, to stuff the chicken breast. One way is to cut a pocket in the thick part of the chicken meat. The other is to pound the chicken flat and roll up the meat around the stuffing. You'll find recipes for chicken breasts stuffed with a variety of fillings: cheese, spinach, bacon, mushrooms and more.
