This one is a keeper. The lemon-pepper seasoning gave the stuffing a really great flavor, and the cheese stuffing was such a nice addition to regular ol' chicken breasts. My only complaint, which can't even really be considered a complaint: I didn't think it would take as long to cook as the recipe stated, but it did. Plan ahead!
