Absolutly wonderful, a must try. -
Very tasty! I substituted white wine for vermouth and brie for the feta cheese. I think next time I will skip browning the chicken breast because some of the chicken was a little dry. Otherwise this was delicious. Thanks for posting! -
I made this for a Greek themed dinner party. It was lovely. Use small chicken breasts because the parcels turn out quite large. -
I tried this recipe and it was an absolute 10 with my family. I switched it up a little..... I used red wine rather then vermouth, put crab meat on top of the mushrooms and used mozzarella rather then feta. It turned out great. Thanks for posting! -
What a fun recipe! It turned out great and was "fancy" enough to serve for company, I think! I also cut the chicken breasts in half which turned out very moist and flavorful. Thank you for sharing.
