Stuffed Chicken In A Tomato Marinara Sauce
This is my stuffed chicken recipe with a tomato marinara sauce - it is so simple to make. The chicken breast is seasoned and then filled with smoked ham and three different types of cheeses. You can fill your chicken with whatever you desire. The chicken is breadcrumbed, shallow fried, then oven baked with the marinara sauce topped with cheddar cheese and mozzarella. So juicy and so simple to make. I can guarantee this will be your family favourite dish.
