I had some chicken breasts to use up for dinner and I wasn't quite sure what to do with them, I must admit I prefer to use chicken thigh's or a whole chicken, I just find they are better in dishes like casseroles, curries, or baked etc as breast meat tends to overcook very easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I figured the best thing to do with the chicken breasts was to oven baked them with some kind of stuffing or filling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I sliced it just like these yummy <\/span>Garlic Hasselback potatoes<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, and stuffed it with tomato slices and mozzarella, the end result was bound to be delicious. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Delicious tomatoes keep the chicken breast moist, and then, of course, you also have all the melted cheesy goodness of the mozzarella cheese  - perfection!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A pinch of Himalayan sea salt and some black pepper along with some chopped fresh Italian parsley. finishes the dish off nicely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For speed foods, you can pick any vegetables or salad of your choice, this dish will pair really well with a huge variety of speed foods. I went for some simple broccoli, which I steamed a little and then sauteed in a pan with a little cooking oil spray a pinch of chilli flakes and some salt and black pepper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
