This stuffing was way more than was needed! Unless I did something wrong. I wanted really more lobster and less breading....the sauce was way more than you needed as well, unless you were going to drown the entire plate with it. The next time, I would brown the chicken in a fry pan first, it was pretty white...and then the sauce was white...even with the gold green dust it was pretty but still white.
