I would make this again using thighs. Drumsticks are very hard to stuff

Instead of carrots try brocolli or other favoriate veggies you like with cheese. My kids loved this dish.

I thought that this recipe was a little to seasoned. I wasn't very satisfied with this, but maybe if you use a different type of chicken it might be better.

This recipe gave me a great idea. I did make a couple of changes. I used split chicken breasts instead of the drumsticks because it seemed easier to work with, I added one clove garlic, 2 TBS minced onion and left out the carrot and red pepper. This was a great recipe and can be altered in so many ways according to your taste!

It was hard with drumsticks because of the odd shape, I will use thighs next time, but it was very good and I got compliments from everyone.
