    unlike Jen, I am a chef by profession. I changed it up slightly: Sauteed the garlic and onions to golden, then added the rest - added some chopped mushrooms. Pounded out the chicken breast very thin, put in the stuffing and rolled it up. Put the rolls in a baking dish and baked until done. Yum! - 7/10/07

    I'm curious why the picture never matches the recipe? I don't see tomatoes. I don't see where it says to roll it or how to do that. For those of us that aren't "cooks" it would be nice to have a picture of the actual dish. I'm such a bad cook, I need the picture as guidance. Thank you! - 8/26/14

    My family & I make this recipe a lot!! Last night, I didn't have any spinach around but I had plenty of fresh basil from my herb garden -- It was AMAZING. - 10/22/08

    I didn't put in the tomatoes because everyone in my family despises them. I baked it at 350 for 30 min. Mixed about 1/2 cup of parmesan with spinach, since I had no mozzarella. - 3/19/08

    I've been looking for new ways to do chicken lately, and this hit the spot. I did it the way that CandyBill suggested, by flattening the chicken and rolling it up. Came out beautifully! - 11/2/07

    I found this recipe to be very bland and I added cheese. My bf really enjoyed it though. I'll try again but add some spices to the mix or possibly use a light marinade for the chicken to up the flavor. Good base to start with! - 3/31/11

    This was amazing! Everything I used was fresh. I cut out the tomatoes but used mushrooms instead and add asiago and provolone cheese to the top since I didn't stuff them. It taste just as good if not better than something you get at an expensive restaurant. Everyone loved it. Will make very often! - 8/20/10

    This recipe is going into the regular rotation by unanimous vote. I had tenders instead of breasts and so I just sauteed the veggies & then threw the gorgeous "filling" over the top of the chicken and baked the rest of the way. Was even better for lunch today. - 5/4/09

    I had some large beautiful chicken breasts that flattened easily! I used the mozzarella instead of the feta for a nice melt! - 5/2/17

    All enjoyed at an informal dinner party. To simplify serving, prepared early in afternoon, stuffing breasts with vegetable mixture and some mozzarella, more mozzarella on top and placing in baking dish and refrigerating. After guests arrived, 20 min covered in 350 degree oven. Cheese melted. Great. - 3/2/17

    It's not bad, but for my tastes I'll be adding more spices next time or even a marinade for the chicken. Flavoring was too bland. - 1/17/17

    Leave out the tomatoes, they ruin so many dishes, too watery and over powering. Spinach and garlic and any cheese works better. - 3/25/14

    This is alot like a recipe I use to make before I found this one. With the garlic and spinach it is so good! What I do is, while the chicken is uncooked I did add small amount shredded sharp cheddar on top the filling, rolled them up sprinkled with some crushed wheat ritz crackers and baked them.:) - 3/15/07

    I’m going to start buy saying I HATE spinach, onion, and actually garlic cut up isn’t a fav either as I always bite into a chunk. That aside I loved this recipe. I forgot tomatoes so I used tomato paste instead but the result was fantastic. Even my son loved every bite and he can be a picky eate - 11/3/20

    We are going to give this recipe a try adapting the recipe like the comments by Candybill that said to add mushrooms and pound the chicken breasts until thin and roll the ingredients inside. I believe this is easier than attempting to slice open a chicken breast. - 3/26/18
