Notes

Experiment with different stuffing combinations to suit your taste. Pre-cooking harder ingredients like rice and carrots is recommended for better texture. Consider brining the chicken for added moisture. Secure the openings well to prevent stuffing from leaking during cooking. Leftover stuffing works great for filling in chicken, saving prep time. Enjoy these stuffed chicken breasts with sides like roasted vegetables or creamy mashed potatoes for a full meal.
