Blue Ribbon Recipe by

When we decided a while back to move south, I started reading up on Southern cooking and absolutely fell in LOVE with Southern favorites. My husband often enjoyed the new types of recipes I tried, but always asked for the same old PA Dutch favorites that were so traditional to our upbringing. BUT NOW... he asks when the next new recipe is coming!! YAY! Of all of the things I've tried, this is the one he asks for the most :-)

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Pimento cheese is a Southern staple. Stuff it inside a chicken breast and you have a delicious and easy stuffed chicken recipe. Cut into the juicy and tender chicken, and the cheesy center oozes out. We love the crunchy Panko outer layer. So much yumminess!
