GRILLED STUFFED CHICKEN BREASTS
This recipe for grilled stuffed chicken breasts is an easy, tasty way to make your veggies work for you. Get creative. I like how efficiently the vegetables and spices flavor the chicken. This allows you to cook the chicken (not the marinating sauce!) and let the flavor come from the inside.
