Chicken Rockafeller

My husband and I just love Oysters Rockafeller, the only problem is they are not always in season. While we were in Florida enjoying an order, we thought we would try it with Shrimp when we got back home. So we got to work to come up with  recipe and tried it with Shrimp...they were very good and a big hit....So I thought I would try the mixture with Chicken Breast also...And this is what we came up with....So you can use the recipe with your choice of Chicken or Shrimp or both at the same time! ...Here is what we did...Enjoy!
