I can’t wait to share toddy’s recipe with you. If you love chicken and delicious and bold flavors, you are going to go crazy over this dish!
Growing up, my favorite after-school-snack was a bowl of sautéed spinach paired with oven cooked sun dried tomatoes with a little salt. It is so healthy and the flavor brings me so much joy. When preparing dinner recently, the thought of this favorite past time snack came to mind and I decided to base my whole dish around it.
I love stuffed chicken recipes and this one is one of the best I have had. Cream cheese, sun dried tomatoes and basil come together to bring one flavor packed filling that will grinning from ear to ear 🙂 The sauce is so creamy and adds so much to the meal as it enhances the flavor. This was definitely a restaurant quality meal made right in my own kitchen. Everyone gave it the stamp of approval and can’t wait until I make it again!
