DIRECTIONS

Rinse chicken and pat dry. Cut each chicken breast lengthwise on the side, to form a cavity for stuffing. Prepare stuffing according to package directions. Prepare potatoes according to package directions.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
Take a chicken breast and fill the cavity with stuffing; secure with toothpicks. Repeat with all of the chicken breasts. Season breasts with salt and pepper to taste. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat and brown chicken on both sides.
Spread prepared potatoes in a 9x13 inch baking dish. Put chicken breasts bone side down on top of the potatoes. Make a tent like cover for the dish with aluminum foil and bake covered in the preheated oven for 35 to 45 minutes. Remove cover and bake for another 15 minutes.

Nice and simple recipe. I sprinkled my chicken breasts with cajun spice & took WHATS HIS FACE's advice and browned the chicken before stuffing them. I skipped the scalloped potatoes entirely and used remaining stuffing in it's place (I used only two chicken breasts). I used Mrs. Cubbinson's Cornbread Stuffing, adding sauteed onion and celery. While the chicken was baking, I reduced 1/3 c. plum jam and 1/3 c. water and glazed the chicken with it about 35 minutes into baking (I baked for 40 min.) This created a nice sweet/savory flavor. The chicken was very tender and juicy. Thanks Helen!
