We always have Boneless skinless chicken breast in the freezer, when I want to cook something good and uncomplicated it usually turns out to be filled chicken fillet, This recipe turned out so delicious that I decided to blog about it! The filling can vary in infinity.
The filling can vary in infinity. Sometimes it will be ham, cheddar cheese, and tarragon, another time it will be mashed pickled sun-dried tomatoes with Philadelphia cheese. I usually serve rice and homemade tomato sauce, but this time I served it with a Freekeh salad that I have blogged about before. You will find the recipe here
