EXPERT TIPS

Expert Tips

Gouda cheese comes from Holland; it's actually the country's most famous exported cheese. Gouda's mild, nutlike flavor and rich, creamy texture make it a classic melting cheese.

When sliced and fanned over seasoned noodles or rice, the presentation of this fabulous chicken dish is absolutely elegant.

This chicken is amazing!!! Everyone loves it. To healthify it, we use skinless breasts and make a shallow slice along the top to fill with stuffing. Then, instead of drizzeling with butter, we spray with cooking spray. They are still amazingingly delicous.

If you want a dinner to impress...this is it!!!!! This will definitely will be a dinner that I will make again and again!! The flavors of nutmeg (just enough and doesn't come over as a heavy spice) and smoked gouda are out of this world! It's easy to prepare yet tastes so up scale!!!!
