Paired with your favorite glass of wine and your favorite sides. With little to no effort to prepare, this stuffed chicken will be ready in under 20 minutes.

You can use your favorite cheeses to stuff your chicken breast and switch up a few things to make the recipe your own. I recommend serving over a bed of hot buttery mashed potato along with your desired vegetable.
