Herb-Stuffed Chicken


Yesterday was my best friend, Kelly's birthday. For her birthday, I made her meals for the day. I made her a yogurt parfait with homemade granola for breakfast. For lunch I made her a chicken panini with grapes and celery sticks, carrot sticks and peanut butter. Dinner included roasted potato wedges, a spinach salad with strawberries and red onions, and this yummy herbacious chicken.
