    The monsters really enjoyed this. They've asked for it to be added to the rotation, and since it is so easy to put together, I'm fine with that!

    This is one I've been making for years... it doesn't get any easier and tastes terrific! Don't forget to add the garlic salt to the chicken before stuffing (I use thick slices of chicken breast instead of tenders). Also, don't forget to cover the baking pan when cooking!!! It usually takes about 80 minutes to bake.

    I made this as stated, with our favorite spaghetti sauce, and I loved it! I also had to cook it a little longer for the chicken to be done, but I had frozen mine for OAMC and don't know if it was quite all the way thawed when I put it in the oven. As simple as this was to put together, I was really impressed with it. Thanks for a great recipe I will be using again!
