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

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

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

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

instead of oil and margarine, I browned chicken in butter flavored Pam saving calories and reducing fat grams that way and used 1% milk instead of half-n-half... brings down calorie count more - 11/27/20
