Notes
You can serve the stuffed chicken breast with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. A drizzle of balsamic glaze or a sprinkle of fresh herbs on top adds a touch of flavor and presentation. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for up to 2 months. For extra flavor, consider adding sun-dried tomatoes or red pepper flakes to the stuffing.
