We often coat our fowl friends with cheesy and crispy toppings, but stuffing is just as good as topping. Here, we stuff a chicken with deliciously tart goat cheese - flavored with herbs, cream cheese, and dill. It fills every bite with flavor, every sense with stuffing, every touch with taste. Topping is tops, but stuffing is supreme. Tip: Having trouble cutting that wobbly sweet potato? Trim off 1/4" along its length and cut that section into 1/2" dice. Turn sweet potato onto its flat side. You now have a flat base to work from while you dice remaining sweet potato.
