BAKED GARLIC, BASIL AND CAMEMBERT STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
I have based this on my Easy Garlic and Basil Stuffed Chicken Breasts as a variation. I used panko but you could use plain dried breadcrumbs. This recipe can easily be doubled.

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts. Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly.
- Use a sharp knife to make the pocket in the chicken breasts. This will help prevent the chicken from tearing.
- Be careful not to overstuff the chicken breasts. If you do, they will be difficult to close and the stuffing may come out during cooking.
- Use a toothpick or skewer to close the chicken breasts. This will help keep the stuffing inside.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper before cooking. This will help enhance the flavor of the chicken.
- Cook the chicken breasts over medium heat. This will help prevent the chicken from drying out.
- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken breasts. The chicken is done cooking when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, making it more tender and flavorful.
Conclusion:
Garlic stuffed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion.
