This is a wonderful recipe that came ouf of an old Better homes and gardens magazine. I say 2-4 servings because I can usually only eat 1/2 of one, however I do not eat large portions. For those who do, this will probably only serve 2.

For a crispier chicken crust, sear the breasts in a hot skillet before baking them.
If you don't have any stuffing mix on hand, you can make your own by combining bread crumbs, chopped vegetables, and herbs.
