Both will get the job done so choose the option that sounds best to you. Create a Pocket The simpler of the methods, you simply cut a pocket in the chicken breast to stuff. Follow these steps: Place chicken smooth-side down on cutting board. Being careful not to cut through to the other side, begin to cut into the thickest part of the breast to create a pocket. Stuff the pocket with your mixture, being careful not to overstuff it. Press down around the pocket to seal the chicken. Pound the Chicken Pounding is better known as tenderizing the meat – and also doubles as a great way to reduce stress! If you pound the chicken enough, it will get thin enough to place your pesto (or other stuffing mixture) on the flattened chicken breast and roll it up. Pounding is the preferred method for stuffed chicken breasts because it evens out the meat, which means even cooking. Follow these steps to tenderize your meat: Lay the chicken on a cutting board and cover with plastic wrap. Pound them firmly and evenly with a meat mallet until they are the thickness you want. Place your stuffing on the breast and roll it up. Don’t have a meat mallet? Don’t worry! Many other kitchen items will get the job done. Try using a rolling pin, skillet, even a can of tomatoes."
