Cheese- Stuffed Chicken Breasts Topped With Shrimp image

From Woman's World Magazine: "Stuffed with herbs and cheese, then topped with succulent sauteed shrimp and more melted cheese, this mouthwatering chicken in a company special treat!" I will say that the fontina cheese was a little strong for me. Next time I make it, I will try a milder cheese, maybe even mozzarella.
