     This was an absolute tasty recipe. I don't like ham so I used bacon instead and mixed both mozz cheese and cheddar and sauted the spinach with some garlic and it was super delish.... Will definitely make this again - 5/24/09

     Excellent Chicken Recipe. - 3/14/08
  • CECTARR
     Used real unsalted butter, no salt Swanson chicken broth and no ham and no salt. This lowered the sodium by quite a lot. Still Good - 1/20/20
  • YANKEEBACKHOME
     First of all, stop using fake food; use real butter and proper cheese.
    And skip the flour! Crush pork rinds , and use them instead (they don't taste like anything when used a coating). Plus, you'll save carbs, AND it will taste tons better, too! - 7/20/19

     Keeping the chicken together without everything falling out. I might recommend a skewer or tie system - 8/29/17
  • SISTERPRETTY
     So I love spinach but I don't eat pork so I need to find a substitute for the ham. I will be using organic chicken. Any suggestions/ideas?? - 8/13/17

     This is very good and easy to make. The sodium is a bit high. I'm not sure where to cut down on the sodium, the ham and cheese both have the culprit! - 7/20/17
