Italian Stuffed Chicken
Everyone has a good stuffed chicken recipe but I really love this Italian Stuffed Chicken recipe. With bold ingredients of chopped olives and/or sundried tomatoes combined with crushed garlic, mixed herbs and soft cheese that gives a smooth and creamy texture.
Top with tomato slices for added flavor and color. This dish is also high in fats and protein and perfect for a keto lover.

I dressed this with a bunch of cheese and no tomatos at all cause I don't like the taste, it goes reallly good with some pasta too.
Squeezed some lime on this to make it kinda zesty then decided to bake some potatoes too for a full meal, perfect.
One of my favorite chicken dishes for sure it's easy too.
Going to be grilling the chicken first then slicing it and adding everything in it afterwards before giving it some time to bake too, wish me luck.
Ate some of the leftovers cold at work today and have to admit it was even better cold.
Love me some Italian food can't believe I never heard of this wonderful dish before!
Mine looks like it exploded does anyone have recommendations so it doesn't look like my chicken vomitted??? LOL
Affordable and scrumptious 5 star meal made from home, why am I not surprised?
Didn't add the olives cause olives have a weird after taste but instead swapped it out for some honey pickles which tasted a lot better then had the chicken on some brown rice :)
Brilliant lunch or dinner for two or more, it's a crowd pleaser no one will get enough of!!
Great I enjoyed it but next time going to need a bit more seasoning.
OMG this was juicy and delicious.
Wow i'm amazed with how tasty this turned out to be going to look around for even more meals.
Took me a bit longer than 28 minutes to prepare and cook everything but it was worth it since everything was great.
My husband and I can't get enough of this stuffed chicken we even decided to expierement a bit with it and add some sundried tomatos to the inside.
White wine, this Italian stuffed chicken and a breezy night while eating and drinking on the porch sounds like a good night to me.
Kinda looks undercooked..please people double check that your chicken is fully cooked and not pink at all or you can catch salmonella.
Another fantastic meal made by the amazing Nina, obsessed with your recipes!!
Served this with some cheesy garlic bread it was absolutely mouthwatering, jaw dropping delicious..
It was tasty but I liked the pineapple chicken a lot more, very flavorful.
Well done! Verified!
