I've tried this recipe several times and I'm always disappointed. The chicken is always dry and the stuffing is bland.

This recipe is a keeper! The chicken breasts were so moist and flavorful, and the stuffing was absolutely delicious. I used a combination of ground beef and pork, and added some chopped walnuts for extra crunch. My family loved it!
