Sweet and sour stuffed chicken breasts

1 Servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
4 Boned & skinned chicken breasts (up to 6)
Bread Stuffing (plain or with vegetables, nuts - however you usually prepare it)
1 can Contadina sweet & sour sauce (with pineapple)
Seasonings: garlic powder, salt, pepper any other that you may want to use

Directions

Slightly pound chicken breasts to flaten evenly. Season lightly with garlic powder, (salt and or pepper if desired). Place a teaspoon or two of stuffing in center of each piece of chicken. For each breast: Fold one side of chicken to the middle of the stuffing mixture, then fold the entire portion over the remaining side. Place seam side down in a baking dish.

Pour the sweet & sour sauce over the chicken breasts. Cover with aluminum foil and bake at 350 degrees F. for 30 minutes. Carefully remove the tin foil and continue baking for another 10 - 15 minutes.

Note: The original recipe came from either the Contadina can or Stove Top stuffing container and called for the chicken to be seasoned with garlic powder etc., covered and baked for 30 minutes without the sauce. The sauce was to be poured over the chicken after the 30 minutes and cooked for another 10 - 15 minutes. However, I found that even though the chicken was covered it dried out a bit and the sauce did not have enough time to flavor the chicken.
