    2. Preheat oven to 350F
    3. Rinse chicken with cold water and pat dry with paper towels. .
    4. Cut a slit in the side of each breast to form a pocket. .
    5. Stuff each pocket with 1/4 of filling. Press to close or secure with wooden toothpicks. .
    6. In a large flat dish, combine yogurt and milk. .
    7. Dip each breast in yogurt mixture and turn to coat completely

      This sounds really good and low fat is always a plus. I will have to try it.
