One thing that really ruins it for me is when the chicken breast turns out dry. The breast was not horribly dry, but it definitely was not moist and juicy. Being pounded thinner and making sure the stuffing and bacon cooked long enough probably overcooked the chicken. Also, I feel that the stuffing tasted underseasoned and bland. I tasted the garlic-y spinach, but there wasn't much more kick than that, even with the 1/2 cup of pepperjack.

Very good. I marinated the chicken breasts like another user suggested in buttermilk for 3 hours before baking. I also used Turkey bacon instead and browned lightly before baking. A touch of cayenne pepper made this very delicious. Will make again.

cooked bacon first and cook spinach in it. Dry chicken before putting in the oven. Left chicken in milk/buttermilk before cooking for several hours . used mexican cheese, parmasan cheese instead.

Delicious! Used HOT buffalo cheddar cheese and 2 jumbo-size chicken breasts (about a pound each). I couldn't wrap the bacon because breasts were too big, so just laid 4 slices on top. Had to cook those jumbo breasts longer too, about 45 minutes, plus the 5 min. to brown the bacon. Very juicy. Great w/ rice.

Great dish!!! I didn't pound out the chicken, just used thin sliced and folden in half over mixture - worked great! Used red and black pepper to season and John Henry's mohave garlic seasoning on chicken and mixture. I also used the leftover spinach mixture in scrambled eggs the next day - wonderful!!!

This was such a great dish. I had company over and they loved it. I didnt use bacon, instead I sprinkled the some extra crated cheese on top. Was moist and had lots of flavor.

It was okay. it didn't taste as good as I thought it was going to. I did use turkey bacon though so that could have made a difference.

I made this on a whim and got rave reviews! I did not, however, make as is--I sauteed onion, garlic, and about 1/3 of a package of frozen spinach (use good quality--the generic frozen spinach can RUIN a dish), as well as a 1/2 of a can of diced italian tomatoes. Used reduced fat mozzerella and ff sour cream and no one can tell the difference. Seasoned the chicken with seasoned salt and pepper. Oh, and I also used turkey bacon (can you feel the low-fat theme?). Overall a great base recipe that any cook with a bit of knowledge can make to work for them--it is a bit messy, though, so I would get someone to help prep.

Can't really rate this recipe fairly because I didn't have alot of the ingredients so I improvised. Only had chicken tenders so I pounded them flat and layered them in a glass dish with the stuffing in between. Used frozen spinach, onion, and italian sausage in the stuffing. Cooked bacon halfway before topping chicken. This would be better with some marinara

I used chicken thighs instead for a family get together and I eyeballed all of the ingredients. It came out delicious. I would recommend not draining the bacon fat once it melts because it helps to retain alot of the moisture and the meat tastes even better.

My hubby declared this chicken (along with pumpkin casserole)his favorite meal...restaurant or otherwise! We have never been more impressed with a recipe! These look gourmet and taste heavenly! I did make a few changes: rubbed the outside of the chicken with salt and red pepper flakes, partially cooked and peppered the bacon, sauteed the spinach with salt and pepper and garlic instead of microwaving, and added feta to the spinach mixture. The chicken was spicy and moist and not as messy as I thought. THESE WERE WONDERFUL!!!

A little bland as written, however, it turned out extremely well with added seasonings. I also sauteed chopped mushrooms and added that to the spinach mixture and used parm instead of the pepperjack. Very good base recipe that you can certainly play around with. Thank you!

Didn't care for this at all, either did my family. I prefer fresh spinach over frozen. Frozen tastes like seaweed to me!

Very good, but I did change the recipe a little wanted to work with what I had in the house without making a store run. So I used cream cheese instead of the sour cream and shredded white cheddar instead of the pepperjack. It turned out really good and was a big hit.

This was an awesome recipe. My family loved it and it became my 7 year olds favorite dish. The only problem I had was getting the stuffing to stay in the chicken. Otherwise, it was fantastic!

I thought this was bad.. I could only eat a couple bites, the mixture inside seemed like it was missing something. Gave it 2 stars because my husband liked it (however, in his batch I omit the spinach inside).

This is a very easy and good recipe. I only rated it a 4 because the way it is, is a little bland for our taste. Add some poultry seasoning and some salt and it's a 5. I really like this recipe and use it on a regular basis. Also, if you have filling left over add some Parmesan cheese and some artichoke hearts and it makes a good hot spinach dip for an appetizer. Thank you for this recipe!

Very, VERY good! I did not have any spinach at home, so I used chopped brocoli instead. I also wrapped one strip of bacon around the chicken in one direction and another around the long way. This held it together without the need for toothpicks and looked beautiful! Great meal for company!
