Tex-Mex Style Stuffing: Create a Tex-Mex inspired stuffing with black beans, corn, diced tomatoes, chili powder, cumin, and shredded cheese. Top the chicken with this mixture for a southwestern twist.
Mediterranean Couscous Stuffing: Replace traditional bread stuffing with couscous cooked in chicken broth. Add ingredients like sun-dried tomatoes, olives, feta cheese, and fresh herbs for a Mediterranean flavor profile.
Cranberry and Pecan Stuffing: Mix dried cranberries, chopped pecans, orange zest, and breadcrumbs for a stuffing that offers a delightful balance of sweet and nutty flavors. It pairs wonderfully with baked chicken.

I think the directions are a little vague. Do you use the whole box of stuffing? Boneless, skinless breasts? Also, the cheese melts and everything slides off. It was very good tasting tho
Jessica
Yes, the whole box of stuffing mix! Though you could do more or less if you like. Yes, boneless skinless chicken breasts. It definitely can be a little melty I just scoop the mixture back on top of each breast if needed.
