Even though I’m not a mom, but have tons of nieces and nephews, I can imagine making a recipe for a friends baby shower or even for yourself can be a challenge sometimes.

Once you stuff these bites, top the chicken with roasted veggies and garnish with some parsley. It’s instant pretty food fit for a village.
