I love making stuffed chicken. It’s always a hit at the dinner table to have a perfectly cooked chicken breasts stuffed with all sorts of tasty goodness. In this particular version of stuffed chicken, I decided to utilize fennel, a super healthy and underutilized vegetable. Fennel is incredibly flavorful and brings a level of sophistication to this simple dish. Add in some roasted red bell pepper, artichoke, and cheese and you have a killer filling. It’s topped off with a balsamic and garlic glaze.
