Notes
Choose high-quality, fresh boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the best texture and flavor.
Properly seasoning the chicken enhances the overall taste.
Searing the chicken before baking creates a delicious golden-brown crust and seals in the juices.
You can experiment with other fillings, such as feta cheese or roasted red peppers.
