I love stuffed chicken, but the usual recipes are typically an excess of fat and sodium. This recipe is my answer - providing a rich and flavorful entree that is also healthy and training friendly! It comes together quickly and tastes like you've slaved in the kitchen for hours! ;-)
Serve alongside your favorite steamed veggies (check out my steamed green beans and mushrooms seen above!).
