I'm not big on spinach but this was pretty darn good! I stuffed my chicken breasts rather than rolling them, did not coat with bread crumbs, and cooked in a skillet. I browned each side and then added water to keep the chicken moist as it continued to cook. 1 stuffed chicken breaset = 2 servings. - 8/27/10
