    I used mozerella cheese instead of the parm chesse and it turned out very well. Super easy and delicious! - 2/26/13

    Incredible!
    I saw these pre-made in the butcher section of the supermarket, so I came here to find a recipe so I could make them myself. YUM! I'm going to use a slice of provolone instead of Parmesan. - 3/15/12

    Very good. Easy to make. Added carrots with the asparagus. The second time I used rosemary instead of oregano. Used toothpicks to hold the chicken shut while it baked. - 4/27/08
