A friend served this chicken when we were over for dinner, and we enjoyed it so much I asked for the recipe. There are many chicken farms in this area, so I'm always on the lookout for new chicken recipes.

This was the best chicken I have ever made. It was tasty, moist and picture perfect. Possibly the only thing I would do differently is to use home-made stuffing, but using the boxed premade did not detract from the recipe at all.
