Truffled Brie Dijon Chicken Breasts
This is a delicious way to prepare chicken that is very easy to prepare with a wonderful end result. I like to stuff my chicken breasts with a slice of cheese as well as top them for extra cheesy flavour. I also love using truffle brie although more expensive than regular you can not beat the taste, although regular brie is fine. The Dijon sauce adds a wonderful finishing touch to the dish which my whole family like.
