Paneer Stuffed Chicken Breasts

Stuffed Chicken is a different and an innovative way of making chicken. It tastes just out of the world. It needs to be done with a lot of care. You can make a variety of stuffing for your chicken like prawns, potato and cheese, bheja, etc. I usually don’t prefer making bheja for a simple reason that I don’t like it infact I usually come across a lot of people who don’t like it that much so I prefer doing it with paneer because it gives it a non-veg cum veg feel. I hope you all enjoy this recipe I have tried to make it as simple as possible.
