This was delicious! I just wish I could have eaten more of it! The only thing I did differently (because I found the inside of the chicken was not cooking and I did use very thin chicken breast) - after it browned on the outside, I turned down the temp and put the lid on it. I thought it might be weird having warm feta, but omg it was so good and the kids were happy because they couldnt taste the spinach, yet it was good for them.

Delicious! I pounded the chicken before filling it and it made it easy to neatly roll up. Instead of browning in oil until done, I browned in some PAM and then added a little bit of chicken stock and covered it and let it poach in the liquid. I also browned the onion in PAM and used fat free feta. OUTSTANDING!

I am a working mom of a beautiful little girl Keira Lynn. Watching her grow has been such a joy!
My husband and I were married in May of 2006 on the beautiful island of Kauai.
Since discovering this site, I have been cooking much more and have found some incredible recipes. I absolutely love to cook and try out new recipes, but have a handful of family favorites that I make quite often. My husband loves to cook as much as I do. To avoid anyone monopolizing the kitchen, we have to designate who gets to cook dinner in advance. He specializes in Asian cuisine and I love trying new healthy recipes.
