Stuffed Chicken Breasts

As a guy, cooking is seen as a foreign skill. Cooking can be seen as a scary task that can turn bad in an instant. The truth of it is that cooking can be very simple and can be quite enjoyable. One of the dinner meals that is easy to make and makes a delicious meal is a stuffed chicken breast. Stuffed chicken breasts are a simple way to make a great meal. First you will need to get the ingredients and get them laid out. Then you will need to prepare the meat for cooking. Next you will cook the chicken and lastly you will prepare the meal to be eaten.

The last thing on the list is the cake pan that you will use to bake it all together.

Preparing the chicken is the most important part of making it. First you will need to set the frozen chicken breasts out for a couple minutes so that they are able to be cut into. When that is done, the cut is next. This is a very particular cut to make because it needs to be a deep enough cut into the side of the chicken breast so that it creates a good pocket for the stuffing ingredients but it must not be too deep that it cuts all the way through the chicken breast. After that, the ingredients need to be cut up and mixed together. The easiest way to do this is to just cut the ingredients on
