Put 2 chicken breast halves in a large, freezer weight resealable
bag. Pound the chicken with the side of a heavy can, rolling pin or
meat mallet until chicken is 1/4 inch thick. Repeat process in the
same bag with remaining chicken breast, 2 at a time.

possible around stuffing mixture.

chicken and bake for 40 minutes.
