Steps:
- In a medium size bowl, whisk together dressing, 2 tablespoons of the chili sauce, lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of the chopped chives until well combined. Set aside.

Working in batches, carefully place chicken in oil and cook until golden, crisp and no longer pink in the center; about 5 minutes per side. Drain chicken on large pan lined with paper towels.

SPINACH AND CHEESE STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST #RSC
Ready, Set, Cook! Hidden Valley Contest Entry. I love creating my own recipes and menus for people. I have been doing this since I was about 12 years old. I put together a birthday party with lots of freshly prepared food and cake that I prepared for my mom. I had help from my cousins and friends who were my assistants and servers. The party was a great success and I have been doing this ever since. I made this chicken dish 8 years ago and it was the only thing different my mom would eat so I made sure I perfected the dish just for her and of course others. I usually brine my chicken in a mixture of salt, brown sugar and water for at least 45 minutes
