Notes
- If you don't own an oven safe skillet, simply sear the chicken breasts in a regular skillet and transfer them to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Store the leftovers in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 250F for about 20 minutes until heated through.
- If the chicken breasts are too thick, pound them using a meat tenderizer and then stuff them with cheese and lemon.
- Don't over bake the stuffed chicken breasts because they will lose their flavor and dry out.
