Tonight's Dinner Grilled Stuffed Chicken Breast

Grilled Chicken With A Surprise InsideEveryone loves grilled chicken breasts, but slice a little pocket in the center and fill it with goodies and you've got a dinner that will surprise and delight friends and family alike.

Nothing beats fresh mozzarella and basil together; they're like two peas in a pod. You see them all the time on pizza, in salads, or sandwiched between two slices of French bread. But what if you roll them up in a piece of prosciutto and put them inside chicken? You get a delectable dish that looks and tastes fancier than it really is.
