These were pretty good - I used pounded chicken breasts and just rolled them around a glob of the mixture which worked well. I used fresh basil which really tasted great in there (about 1 Tbsp). Be sure you like feta though, the taste is very strong, but yummy if you like it!

Chicken was okay. My family did not care for the stuffing inside the chicken. Spices were a bit strong.

Really good meal. I will wrap the chicken with bacon next time though.

We enjoyed these. I will have to get bigger cutlets because I had a hard time rolling the mixture in it. Will definately make these again.

The filling is very tasty and I don't like bell peppers but I loved this. I also used chicken breasts and made cutlets my self, they seemed a bit small and there wasn't enough filling for 16 cutlets. Next time I think that I will just butterfly the breast and use twice the filling.
