To make this dish, you will need:

4. Spoon the stuffing mixture into each pocket, dividing it evenly among the chicken breasts.

8. In the same skillet used to cook the chicken, add the chicken broth and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly.
