The reviewer gave this recipe 5 stars. This recipe averages a 4.18 star rating.
Reviewed: May 6, 2008
I made this last night to RAVE reviews. So i understand that adding/deleting changes the recipe completely but here is what I did upon reading all the other reviews. First, I marinated the chicken breasts (boneless/skinless) in a garlic Italian marinade from the store. I stuffed the breasts with Parmesan, Ricotta, Mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes and spinach then topped them with the same mixture adding additional sun dried tomatoes. I covered them in a rich bottled spaghetti sauce and filled the baking dish with chicken broth. They took quite a while to cook but let me tell you that my 10 year old ate second helpings (this is the boy who orders spaghetti noodles with butter and paremesan cheese at a restaurant) and my 5 year old kept telling me it was his favorite meal ever! Everyone ate their entire plates and asked me to make it again. I don't know what the negative reviewers did wrong, but I definitely will make this over and over changing the stuffing mixture a bit each time even though this combo was delicious!!

This was a pretty good recipe and looked really nice as well. I used the boneless/skinless chicken breasts and still had to cook it a few more min. than called for - not really sure how the bone-in kind would have been done in that amount of time. My husband really liked it. I did use Vodka sauce instead of just regular spaghetti sauce and I think as someone else mentioned this recipe just can't be done justice by ordinary Ragu/Prego type sauces.

My boyfriend's comment: "you'd pay big bucks for a meal like this at a restaurant." But the beauty of this dish is that despite its fancy appeal, its simple, quick, and inexpensive. Like everyone else, I couldn't find bone-in, skin-on chicken breasts, so I just used boneless skinless. Worked fine and was probably a little healthier. Added garlic and basil into spinach mixture. I marinated the chicken breasts in some Italian dressing for about 2 1/2 hours before cooking. I was making this for two, but the only thing I really eased up on was the spaghetti sauce. I just placed the extra spinach mixture on top and that worked well. Sure to impress without all the work.

It may have been my fault why this dish didn't turn out fantastic. I took a couple cloves of garlic, the onion, and parmesean cheese and put it through a food processer, and then mixed it with the spinach and sauted the mixture in butter, then stuffed boneless skinless chicken breast and seasoned the top on the stuffed chicken. It still seemed bland, and like the spinach was overpowering. My husband and I still ate it without complaint, but unless there is a better way to make this dish, I wont try again.

Great recipe! Really quick and surprisingly easy. I added one clove chopped garlic and some freshly ground black pepper to the spinach mix (because we like garlic so much!). But it would be good without the garlic. I didn't have any Mozz so I didn't add that to the top, and it was still REALLY good! I'm sure it would be even better with the mozz. My husband loved it and ate it all up. It's great for lunches the next day also. Thank you!

This is a delicious and easy recipe but made these changes: finely chop the onion and saute it along with the spinach prior to stuffing the chicken, otherwise the onion is raw and crunchy and the spinach is not cooked. I used boneless chicken breast, which will not cook through in 35 minutes if you leave the bone in. I added a 1/4 cup of goat cheese to give the stuffing a bite.

This is a keeper; something I'd be proud to serve when entertaining. Plus, it's very easy to make. I used fresh spinach (cut into smaller pieces). I rubbed the chicken with rock salt and Italian herbs before stuffing and threw a bit of cilantro on top. Including a bit of mozzarella as stuffing also improved the flavor. Delish!

I used fresh grated Romano cheese since I didn't have the other on hand. Also used homemade spaghetti sauce. This was an excellent dish. I always try to make the dishes as stated otherwise they are not the same recipe, it becomes totally different. Thanks for the recipe.

Really good as is. I pounded boneless skinless breasts and filled with mixture (which I added ricotta cheese to). It didn't even need toothpicks. I found once pounded & filled one breast made two servings. I served with whole wheat penne pasta. 5 delicous stars.

Simple yet elegant dish! I baked the chicken in half a can of chicken broth which kept the chicken moist and made the pan easy to clean afterwards as well! My only complaint is that the chicken was almost tasteless. Next time I will use white wine instead of the chicken broth and I will also try rubbing a concoction of basil, salt and garlic into the chicken prior to stuffing and/or I might marinate the chicken in white wine. Just a thought but topping the chicken with sliced almonds might work nicely as well. Note: I used boneless breasts.

This wasn't very good. I accidently mixed the cheeses in with the spinach, but I doubt that would change the taste much. Really bland and not so quick to make. The only upside to this dish was that I got my bf to eat spinach because he was too lazy to pick it out. Even covering the top with cheese didn't really make this very good. Maybe I should have added bits of bacon inside? I don't think I'll be making this again, sorry.

Made this last night and it was deemed the best meal I've ever cooked. (I'm just starting to really get into cooking, but still, I've cooked some decent food in the past.)It was really easy, too. Threw in some garlic to spice it up.

This was very easy to make. It had good flavor, but something was still missing. Make sure you cover with foil to cook otherwise it takes longer.
