Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use boneless, skinless chicken breasts for this recipe.
• If you don't have fresh thyme, you can substitute with dried thyme.
• Feel free to add some shredded mozzarella or goat cheese to the stuffing mixture for extra creaminess.
• To check if the chicken is cooked through, insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken breast. It should read 165°F (74°C).

Storage and Serving

• Leftover stuffed chicken breasts can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and cover with foil. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 15-20 minutes, or until heated through.
• Serve the reheated chicken breasts with a fresh salad or roasted vegetables for a quick and delicious meal.
