Stuffed Chicken Breasts Recipe

Stuffed Chicken Breasts

I love to create my own recipes. I may start with an idea of what I want, 'stuffed chicken breasts' for example, but I never follow the recipes. I feel more satisfaction from creating my own masterpieces than following a recipe. Almost all of the recipes on this blog have been my own (if they aren't, then I've cited my sources)

This dinner dish was INCREDIBLE!!

Ingredients: 

2 lb large chicken breasts
3 tbsp. fat free cream cheese (softened)

salt and pepper to taste
3/4 cup fat free shredded cheddar cheese
1 packet of 'Sicilian Chicken Skillet Sauce w/ Tom basil & garlic' (found in marinade section at walmart)
