We had a rainy, low-key weekend at home, and it was pretty lovely.

I did some painting and crafting with my daughter, some building and games with my son, and we all cuddled up for some movie nights. My kind of way to recharge!

But let's get right into the food.

I love stuffing some chicken breasts and making that part of a fun family dinner.

They add so much flavor to regular chicken breasts (that, yes, can sometimes get a little boring) and there are endless ways to change them up.

And often times, they are baked and that makes for a really hands-off meal once you get it prepped.

That’s my kind of weeknight dinner plan.

Also, because they seem a little fancy, stuffed chicken can be a great meal to make for friends and family. 

Basically, there’s something for everyone here!

One quick tip to help you get started…

Of course, follow the recipe and see what it says, but many stuffed chicken recipes call for butterflying the chicken first, to prepare it for stuffing.

If you need some help with prepping your chicken, check out this post on how to butterfly chicken breasts.

It has step by step photos. And once you’ve done it a few times, you’ll be a master.

OK, let’s dive right into these delicious recipes.

(Also to note: Many of the recipes below are from my site, but I’ve also included recipes from others.)
