Here's a recipe for nice, somewhat sweet tasting chicken breasts. The recipe, as given below, was found at Kraft Foods, but I usually substitute my homemade stuffing made with whole grain winter wheat bread cubes, & when making it for this recipe, I usually add to the stuffing at least a teaspoon of orange zest.
