This was tasty! Each bite with the stuffing was marvelous. The chicken otherwise would be too plain, so probably added more stuffing than was called for (or had huge chicken breasts) and made 2 breasts with this recipe. Will make again! (I made almond flour by putting almonds in the magic bullet, worked great!)
