This IS a very good recipe, but you have to keep one thing in mind. . .
. . .Here's the deal: Most Americans have turned into bland eaters who are afraid of anything with 'too many' ingredients. They'll eat fast food junk but are afraid of anything other than bland, redundant, boring food. That's why most kids these days have an almost infinite 'won't taste or eat' list, which is a shame.
Giada's recipes, I think, are modified to account for the 'phood phobias' of so many Americans these days. So, the seasonings are dumbed down to accomodate the stupidity. Make this recipe by 1. tripling the garlic, 2. add 1/3 more sage, 3. use 4 nice sized garlic cloves, 4. add a Tbsp of chopped fresh Italian parsley, and most importantly, 5. add 2 pats of melted butter. This bring Giada's good recipe to outstanding. AND, if you want to make it 'over the top' great: first pund the chicken a bit to expand it in flat size about 1/2 inch and then lay down a paper thin slice of proscuitto before adding the cheese. I also add some sliced mushrooms to the pan to brown and soak up the pan ingredients at the same time as the chicken does. Please teach your kids to try stuff. caio

The sauce was bland and the overall taste of the dish was lacking like most of Giada's food. Would not make again. Everytime I try one of her dishes, I always say it will be the last becasuse they are usually very disappointing. Just haven't had much success with her recipes.

Whenever I find a dish that the whole family loves, I make it again and again and this is one of those dishes. The only alteration I did was that instead of sage leaves, I used sage spice on the chicken before I rolled it. I also had some issues slicing them after they're cooked but have since learned (I have made this dish 3 times since I saw the episode that you have to cut at an angle in order for the rolls not to fall apart.

GREAT!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

Pretty much followed the recipe as stated but did add more seasonings to the sauce especailly more garlic. I am lucky to have an excellent Italian market close by which had the mentioned canned tomatoes. Overall a very good dish.

I did almost everything as the recipe said to do but I read reviews from others and I added some fresh italian parsley to the sauce, i used about 5 cloves of garlic that i cooked with the chicken and put it into the food processor with the tomatoes, and added some salt and peper. It came out great and is great base recipe you could change it up with differnt cheeses, herbs, and spices that you like.

I made this two nights ago for my husband and I. I found it to be very tasty. I did make a few changes.
I didn't have white wine on hand when I thought I did, so I substitued chicken broth which worked perfectly. I added grated garlic instead of a clove to add flavor to the sauce. I used diced italian seasoned tomatoes and just pureed them in the cuisinart. I also flavored the sauce with italian seasoning. (not a fan of just plain tomato sauces Also a pinch of sugar to the sauce to cut acid! Also diced my sage as I don't like to bite into a full piece of it (although my husband does!.
I thought the cheese was perfect for the dish. Very filling and tasty for dinner. Will try with the white wine next time when I remake it!

This dish was incredible! I actually used some leftover Preggo spaghetti traditional sauce and added wine, instead of the tomato sauce she made and it was so flavorful. I also added a tad of garlic powder to the chicken as well. Cant wait to make it again

I don't know what all the fuss is about with the flavor in this recipe. This is officially my first written review ever, but I have been duplicating food network recipes for years. I made this in about 45 minutes for my picky 6-year-old daughter and husband and they loved every bite! I didn't have San Marzano Tomatoes, so I just used Hunts and the sauce was wonderful. The only change I made was that I salted and peppered the sauce before I added the chicken back in. We loved the silkiness of it. I would definetly make this again! We love you Giada!

I thought this recipe was great! I did add basil instead of the sage and didn't put in the pepper flakes. Would be too spicy for me. Also added italian seasonings. And, to respond to the person who said she didn't say to use the toothpicks, READ AGAIN!
