Stuffing a whole fryer roaster is time consuming, but chicken breasts can be stuffed and cooked in far less time. By preparing stuffing and either placing it under a chicken breast or rolling it in a breast
that has been pounded flat, a home cook can prepare the exact amount of food that is needed for the meal. Classic bread stuffing is a common choice for use with chicken, but other flavors such as sweet fruits like raisins and apples
or other nutty flavors can be added to change the overall taste of the meal. Vegetables like broccoli and spinach can be blended with cheese to make a tasty alternative to basic stuffing.
Stuffing is not the only ingredient used in or under chicken breasts. Recipes such as Chicken Kiev or Chicken Cordon Bleu call for chicken breasts to be wrapped around savory ingredients like ham, cheese, butter and spices. The choices available for use
when stuffing chicken breasts are nearly endless and can be combined to suit the chef’s tastes. Stuffed chicken breasts can be served with a garden salad or a fresh sauté of mixed vegetables to make a delicious and well-rounded meal that
is bursting with flavor. |
