Butterfly Chicken,(Slice an opening  down the long side, on the side of the chicken leave attached about 1/2 inch either end and cut deep about 3/4 of the way into the chicken making a pocket). Do this with each chicken breast,filling the pocket with a 1/4 of the mix repeating for each chicken breast. Attach breast over filling  using a toothpick to seal the opening.
