This chicken is packed with so much flavor! The filling along is delicious and would be good with so many other recipes. Loved that the chicken didn't feel too heavy. -
i hate to spoil the party but this recipe seems quite overrated to me it was too mushy plus the combined flavor of the chicken and spinach mixture together just did not really work for me it was just ok -
A great and easy recipe! Will be a cookbook favorite from now on. One slight problem - the filling was a tad on the watery side, but I did use fresh spinach, not canned, so that could account for it. I added a bit of Parmesan cheese to help thicken up the filling. The chicken turned out awesome. I put in under the broiler for a few minutes, and the skin got really nice and crispy. (I had oiled it with olive oil before cooking). Mom said this recipe should get six stars! -
I made this last night for dinner and can't believe how great it tasted for how little work it took to make it! I sprinkled in a little cajun seasoning in the stuffing and on top of the breasts. Great recipe! -
This is so awesome! I used a package of fresh spinach, washed and heated to wilted. Then I added the cream cheese etc to the saucepan. I also sprinkled the tops with garlic, salt, and pepper. Turned out great. One of my favourite recipes on here. Simple to make, and few ingredients, yet tastes and looks like you worked real hard at it.
