FONTINA, SUN-DRIED TOMATO AND SPINACH STUFFED CHICKEN BREAST



Fontina, Sun-Dried Tomato and Spinach Stuffed Chicken Breast image

This recipe came about because of my love for cheese. I am always searching out a new cheese and what it is best paired with. Fontina cheese can be nutty and fruity but it depends on where it is made.
