Expert Tips

Stuff the chicken breasts up to 24 hours in advance. Cover tightly and refrigerate until it's time to cook. Wait to roll them in butter and bread crumb mixture until you're ready to bake.

Brown rice is a great side for this flavorful chicken.

This was good, but it was difficult to fold the chicken sides and tops together. I ended up having to put toothpick in there to keep them together.

I think this sounds yummy may try it out next week sometime. It seems so quick and easy and not much fussing to do with only a few ingredients unlike some recipes.
