For a veggie boost, try mixing in some chopped spinach or mushrooms.

How to store leftovers?

Storing leftovers is a breeze with this recipe. After enjoying your meal, allow any remaining chicken to cool to room temperature. Place the leftovers in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to four days. If you need to store them longer, you can freeze the stuffed chicken. Just wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap or foil before placing it in a freezer-safe container. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm through in the oven or microwave.
