Notes
- Additional stuffing can be added to the pan if desired.
- Ensure stuffing is completely cooled before stuffing chicken.
- The center of each piece of chicken should reach 165°F.
- To Use Boneless Chicken Breasts
- To use boneless chicken breasts, butterfly the chicken breast open (so you can open it like a book) and pound to ½" thickness.
- Fill with the stuffing mixture and wrap in bacon (you may need extra bacon if the chicken breasts are large). Bake at 375°F for 35-40 minutes or until the center reaches 165°F.
