Delicious stuffed Chicken, serve warm or cold – whole or sliced into wheels as mains, snacks or an appetizer

I made this Tomato and Mozzarella Stuffed Chicken on a recent Friday night for dinner.

However, I made a double batch and served the cold Chicken sliced into rings the following day and added it to our savory platter to snack on whilst watching Rugby.

It was delicious both ways ! I did however wrap the Chicken, kept for the following day, in plastic wrap and did not slice the rolled pieces until just before serving.

This way, the Chicken did not dry out at all and was still tender and juicy the next day.

The filling ingredient quantities are delicious and well balanced as per the recipe I am sharing below, but if you prefer a cheesier filled Chicken for dinner (or snack), add some more Mozzarella.

There are really no rules when it comes to a filling similar to the one I used in this Stuffed Chicken, increase or decrease the quantities to your preference.
