  1. This is good and spicy!!! I love the stuffing!! I used fresh crimini mushrooms and thyme instead of oregano. Also, used arugula instead of spinach because I had all those things around the house already. Used maharajah curry powder and it was spicy mixed with all that pepper but really good!!! I used butcher's twine to secure my chicken bundles and I baked them for 55 minutes until my meat thermometer read 180 degrees F. Really great recipe, thanks for posting!!
     
  2. This recipe deserves zero stars. Way too much pepper - there must be a typo - 1tbsp??? Horrible. In fact the whole thing is horrible. The texture is gritty and unpleasant. The "stuffing" is flavorless and does not stay in place. Even with toothpicks it fell out all into the baking dish. What a waste of time and ingredients.
     
  3. Made this for dinner tonight. Next time I will use less oregano and add a little salt to the oil mixture and add garlic to the filling, but overall these were a nice change. I served them with roasted asparagus and baked sweet potatoes.

My Current Project: Best-Wine-Clubs-Guide.com art director/designer About Me: I work for Best-Wine-Clubs-Guide.com as the "computer nerd." My boss is a man with big ideas and big passions. And even though I'm not a computer "expert" by any stretch, he hired me anyway after a talk on an airport shuttle bus. He said he could tell I had the kind of energy he wanted for his new site. Who new? My job is basically to try to harness his ideas (which is like trying to tame a wild horse sometimes) and organize them, and translate them for new content for the website. It's important to make sure his passion and energy come through. I was raised in Canada and have traveled a fair bit and became interested in computers when I got my first Mac as a teenager. I just try to do things I love and try not to waste time. As my boss says... Don't "waste" time... and always be ready for Life's simple treasures." I'm just starting to try my hand at cooking decent food.
