Chicken has a variety of different uses in cooking. It goes great in a roast, but sometimes it is hard to find the motivation to go through all that preparation.
I like to eat chicken, but I couldn’t bring myself to do all that every day.
Instead, I found a much easier, much tastier, way of serving it.
Stuffing your chicken breasts is a great way to add flavor and excitement to your meals.
However, having the same kinds of stuffing every time can get a bit bland.
Therefore, I made a list that will show you that there are plenty of options out there.
You don’t need to feel trapped with just an option or two – welcome to a whole new world of flavor.
