In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until lightly browned. Remove and set them aside.

Spread the prepared stuffing evenly over the chicken and sauce in the casserole dish.

Step 11

Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the stuffing layer.
