Chicken can sometime be flavorless, dry, or both. This can simply be because it’s overcooked, or because 1) you’re not cooking the right recipes and 2) it’s a very lean meat to start with, with little fat to add flavor and keep it moist. By stuffing chicken, you can fix these two problems. You’ll also notice a common theme throughout these recipes and that’s that most of them incorporate pork in some way. Since pork is generally much more fatty, it’s a great way to keep the chicken tender, moist and full of flavor. Don’t worry, you’ll also get your veggie fix too!
