Notes
Tips and Tricks
Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before slicing a pocket into them. Make sure the cheese is at room temperature before stuffing the chicken breasts to prevent the cheese from solidifying and becoming difficult to work with. Secure the opening of the chicken breast with toothpicks to prevent the cheese from melting out during cooking.Nutrition
