    This was very tasty. It didn't taste at all like a dead person. (MountainBiker1, I think you meant "decadent," and not "decedent"). - 2/19/11

    One of the best meals I have ever eaten! Loved it! So did the hubby, who really isn't crazy about goat cheese! I used toothpicks to hold it together, and baked it at 375 for about 35 minutes. - 2/1/11

    I live in Egypt but could I use Feta cheese from the box? or does it have to be goat cheese? Help! We don't have things here like America - 6/15/12

    We marinated the chicken in a garlic vinaigrette. Fantastic. - 1/7/12

    Best supper I have had in years!
    I accidentally bought chicken breast "tenders", so we werent able to wrap them - we ended up cooking the cutlets and then spreading the goat cheese between 2 thin cutlets and quickly warming them again. I will definitely make this again - awesome! - 7/20/09

    This was fantastic! I also didn't pound the chicken thin enough, but covered my pan with tinfoil to help the chicken cook faster (utilized steam). Even my hubby who is not a huge fan of goat cheese liked it. Made it with orange-flavored cous cous (to make add 1 Tbsp to cous cous prior to steaming). - 3/14/09

    this wast tasty but I had some mishaps: used herb brie & some feta (couldn't find the goat cheese) and cooked in a grill pan. I did not securely roll them and they came apart in the pan. I also didn't flatten them enough, they were thick and took a long time to cook. I will try again soon! - 11/6/08

    If there is a Trader Joes or a Whole Foods Store where you live you will find it there!

    Very easy! I used all dried seasonings and a little olive oil in the bottom of my pan but other than that, followed the recipe. It was VERY YUMMIE!!! I'm putting in my recipe book and plan to make it a part of my meal rotation. - 6/15/08

    This was very simple and delicous! Also very filling I cannot wait to eat this again. I served it with a nice side salad and rice. YUM YUM YUM - 3/31/08

    Yum! I used 1/2 the cheese, and dried herbs, and drizzled olive oil and baked it. Toothpicks worked to keep them together. (All the changes are due to what I had in the house. I think fresh herbs would be better.) Very good and the kids liked it too! Yum Yum Yum says the 6 yo. - 9/6/10

    This was incredible. My husband and I both really loved it. we paired it with cous cous and fresh grilled zuccini along with some cherry tomatoes. Altogether - delicious! Thanks for the inspiration! :) - 7/2/09
