Italian Stuffed Chicken Breast

Features:
    Cuisine:

    This dish worked out quite well for my family. I had a bit of difficulty stuffing the breasts. The chicken breasts were too hot to handle comfortably, and the stuffing kept falling onto the counter instead of inside the little pocket. So used a pair of tongs to hold the pocket open, and it went much more smoothly after that. But that's an issue with my lack of skill, and not a problem with the recipe per se. I taste-tested the proscuitto mixture before stuffing the chicken breasts, and it was perfectly yummy as made by the recipe instructions. But we're a family of garlic fanatics, so I added extra garlic to satisfy our insatiable garlic preference. The recipe didn't specify what kind of breadcrumbs to use, so used Italian Herbed Breadcrumbs (since the recipe title denotes an Italian flavor). Good choice IMO. The recipe calls for a bit too much balsamic for our taste buds, so next time I'll cut that in half (if not more) and compensate by using more wine or chicken broth to keep the sauce at the right consistency. used fresh rosemary from my garden, but I think dried rosemary (from a jar) would be just fine. All in all, a very yummy dish.
