Yummy! I'm going to give it go too - for some strange reason we do have all the stuffing ingredients here which is really rare. Not sure what to buy to stuff it into yet though.

Well I can recommend the chicken breasts Mrs B. you could buy the frozen ones and thaw out if you need more than the four usually in the fresh packs!

Glad you enjoyed it B.M. it certainly makes chicken more tasty. ;D

It did - I thought that hubby wouldn't eat his - the chicken breast was huge (must have been an odd shaped free range chicken!) and he doesn't like too much since he has been on his fitness campaign, but he cleared his plate.
