Healthy Living

For a lower fat version substitute boneless skinless chicken breasts for the chicken legs. To make a pocket for the stuffing, horizontally insert knife into thickest part of meat and cut a wide deep pocket, being careful to not cut all of the way through the breast. Press stuffing mixture evenly into pockets. Bake 30 min. or until chicken is cooked through.
