Notes
Cook time: Our chicken breasts are usually done right at 30 minutes, but as always, I recommend you use a meat thermometer to ensure your chicken is cooked through. I love this instant read thermometer and you’ll want the chicken to be at 165 F.Toothpicks: I don’t have any problems with my filling coming out, but you can always secure these chicken breasts with a couple of toothpicks if you prefer.Servings: This is an easy recipe to halve if you just have 2 people. Alternatively, you can double it if serving a large group or if you’re having company over.Leftovers: Leftovers, once cooled, can be stored in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. Slice then reheat (so they reheat more quickly without drying out) in a skillet or in the microwave, until hot.
