Baked Stuffed Chicken Breasts

My left outer shin has been bothering me since my run on Saturday, so I took Sunday off and did 20 minutes on the Arc Trainer this morning along with a chest and shoulder workout.  I can NOT wait until tomorrow because it is Election Day, which means NO school for me:)  I can cook and clean and relax after a nice long workout.  I think I'll still to getting up at 4:30 am so that I can workout with Rich and then get stuff done around the house. 

I found a baked chicken recipe on http://www.onefitfoodie.com that I thought I'd try tonight.  I altered it a bit, but it turned out fantastic!  We paired these with with some boiled cabbage and green beans.  YUM.

Add the filling to one side of the breast fillet

Close those babies up and top with flax seed
