Two Great Tasting Chicken on a Bed of Stuffing Recipes

There's nothing quite like a herb - breadcrumb stuffed chicken roasted in the oven.

It brings back memories of Sunday dinners with sides of mashed potatoes and gravy and corn on the cob. What if you could get the same great taste without taking the time to do a whole chicken. You can with the two recipes presented here. One is a very quick microwave version and the other is a conventional oven version that takes only a few minutes more. These recipes are for two but could be doubled quite easily.
