I used to attempt to make stuffed chicken a lot, but it was more the type you pound to nonexistence and roll up and secure with toothpicks. This recipe is my kind of stuffed chicken. There is none of that pounding chicken and rolling it up mess. It's just butterflying the chicken and filling it and folding the chicken back over the filling. It's seriously wonderful. It was super easy. Plus the combination of roasted red pepper with basil and mozzarella is fantastic. It seems like such a fancy dish, but it's so easy to make!

Basil and chicken are the best combination and this Slow Cooker Pesto Mozzarella Chicken Pasta is definitely total comfort! I am really excited to try this Pineapple Habanero Stuffed Chicken from Real Advice Gal in the summertime. Sweet and spicy!
