Notes
- Be careful not to cut all the way through the chicken. You want to just make a pocket to stuff it.
- If a lot of the mixture leaks out of the chicken when it is cooked, just leave it to cool a little bit and then stuff it back in.
- You can make these up and then freeze them before cooking. Make sure to defrost thoroughly before cooking.
- Leftovers are good sliced up and served on a salad.
- Make them a little more indulgent by wrapping them in bacon before cooking.
- You could wrap these in bacon or Parma ham and it would keep everything more secure, but obviously it the changes the nutritional information.
