So delicious!! and quick and easy!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I just love this dish and so does my whole family!! So delicious and quick and easy! It's also easy enough to tweak to your... own personal preference. I add fresh chopped garlic, pancetta, and roasted red peppers or sun dried tomatoes to the stuffing. I also like to bake the chicken and then broil for the last few minutes. Since first trying this recipe i have made it several times. Once i bought chicken tenders (by accident) but i just layered the stuffing on top of them and it was still just as good!! You do end up with ALOT of stuffing mixture and you certainly don't need it all but my family likes it so much that i just put the leftovers in the pan and cook it all together. My favorite recipe by far!Read more

Excellent recipe
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This was delicious. I only used a half pound of feta and I had Greek seaoning, so I used that instead of oregano. It was... delicious. Everyone loved it. It's definitely going to be cycled into our regular menu.Read more

I skipped the dill
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

We didn't have and dill on hand, and I am not such a big fan of it anyway. I added garlic and red pepper flakes and everyone... loved it! Great, easy, fast recipe that my 4 year old ate up! Read more

Quick to make and as good as dinner out.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

This recipe is a staple in our house--inexpensive to make (unless you splurge on the feta, which I do--it's worth it!) and so... simple that anyone in the family can throw it together. Our favorite pairing is lemon risotto, but it's just as good with some oven-roasted potatoes. We make it 2-3 times/month.Read more
