    One way to check if stuffed chicken is cooked is by cutting into it using a meat thermometer.

    what should the internal temperature be of stuffed chicken breast?

    For poultry, the safest minimum temperature should be at least 165F/74C.

      Totally delicious recipe! I halved and pounded 2 breasts, making four servings (3 oz each). Works great with WW Points Plus.... added the chopped sundried tomato, basil pesto and then used half fat free mozzarella and half regular to lower the fat a little. Rolled up with tooth picks, and then seasoned. BAM! this dish has F L A V O R. I love this, and my husband did too. Each portion was 4 points. FOUR delicious, can't wait to make it again points. Thanks!
