Chicken With Creamy Zucchini and Lime Stuffing image

This is one of the best whole chickens I have ever cooked. The cheese stuffing is tucked under the breast skin of the chicken to give added flavor and moistness to the meat. Impressive looking and awesome tasting....what more could you ask for.....
