Chicken Firenze image

Chicken marinated in sherry and cooked with a wonderful stuffing. A bit tricky but so worth it. Not quite as bad as the nutritional facts say, since the marinade gets thrown away and using skinless breasts will cut down on the fat. Serve with fresh, steamed asparagus.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my dish didn't turn out as expected. The chicken was dry and the sauce was too thick. I probably won't be making this again.
