Bring a little drama to the table with this show-stopping stuffed chicken. Breasts are rolled around a savory ham-and-pineapple filling, simmered until tender in a sweet-tangy sauce, then finished tableside with flaming brandy poured over dark cherries and pineapple. It is festive, fragrant, and just theatrical enough to make an ordinary evening feel like a celebration.
