Instead of cooking this in a skillet, I cooked it in the oven at 425 degrees for about 20-25 minutes. It came out perfect!

i would recommend cutting the chicken breast in half because it took forever to cook in the pan because the meat was so thick. by the time it was done most of the filling had melted out.

Try to make sure the chickens are big enough to stuff and cook one at a time....also let season on the chicken sit over night to ensure consistent flavouring.

Instead of leaving the chicken whole and stuffing it I diced the chicken and let it marinate for 2 hours. I cooked both the chicken and bell pepper mixture in a separate pan then combined it all together. I made jasmine rice and black beans to compliment this yummy dish. I would definitely make this again 😛
