Cheesy Stuffed Lemon Chicken Breasts

The bird has a beautiful gloss because to the coating. In the absence of fresh sage, add 1/4 teaspoon dried sage. One day in advance, you can create the glaze, herb butter, and onion mixture. Put each cover in the fridge. Herb butter should be used at room temperature. Wild mushroom stuffing, cranberry sauce with raspberry vinegar, mashed sweet potatoes, rutabaga and parsnip casserole, green beans with walnuts, date and onion relish, pear chutney, and of course pumpkin pie and butterscotch pie, are all wonderful additions to the menu.
