Notes

Feel free to experiment with adding vegetables like spinach or sun-dried tomatoes for extra flavor and nutrition. If you're short on time, consider using a slow cooker for an easy, hands-off version of stuffed mozzarella chicken. For a lighter option, use low-fat mozzarella cheese and serve with plenty of veggies on the side. Enjoy your delicious creation!
