    Use two large skin on chicken breasts with bone. Cut a pocket in the breast and put in the stuffing. Heat a cast iron skillet on the stove with a little bit of oil. Sear both sides of the breasts then put the skillet in the oven at 350 for about 30 - 40 minutes. Take chicken out of pan. Make the wine sauce in the skillet. Much faster and better tasting.

    This was excellent, however, I wish I had read the comments and reviews before-I actually doubled the stuffing recipe because I was making 4 chicken breasts-I think I have enough leftover mixture for 8 more chicken breasts! This dish is very flavorful but you can cut the stuffing mixture in half!

    I wound up thickening up the sauce with flour reduced it, then added hvy cream, pretty good.

    I didn't put in that much gargonzola, replacing with parmesean. I read the other comments, and cut the stuffing in half, they're right

    I also made WAY too much mixture, and modified it a bit, since I was just making one breast for myself..... I didn't put in the bacon, since I didn't have any, and used low-fat cottage cheese instead of ricotta, and threw in chopped garlic when I sauteed the spinach. I didn't have any white wine, so I used a bit of orange champagne vinegar, with whole grain dijon mustard and the lemon, and thinned it out a bit with water. It turned out GREAT! Even with the low-fat modifications and omissions it had fantastic flavor! I highly recommend!

    There is way too much filling for 2 chicken breasts. I used 1/2 a cup spinach and it looked like a nice amount. 1/4 c gorgonzola and 1/4 cup feta but now wish I'd used feta and parmesan becasue the gorgonzola was still too strong to taste anything else. The sauce was great, I love a white wine and mustard sauce and this one was nice. I cooked the remaining stuffing and plan on tossing it with some rice. While not a bad dish, it wasn't great and I dont think I'll make it again.

    My son and husband loved it. My husband said it tasted like a dish that you'd get at a good restaurant. We usually like a lot of sauce so I doubled the ingredients for the sauce, except I still used only one lemon, and it was still very lemony. I found that putting a small amount of the sauce on top of the chicken (about 1 or 2 spoonfuls was all you need. (I also put a little flour in the sauce to slightly thicken it. I pounded the chicken very thin and when I stuffed it the cheese did spill out in places, and I thought it would be a disaster when I cooked it, but I handled it very gently and found that everything stayed in place. And somehow, with only salt and pepper, a wonderul flavor was created as the chicken cooked in the pan. Delicious!

    We thought this was very flavorful. Instead of pouring the lemon sauce over the chicken at the end ( never did get it to thicken into a sauce consistency I put some of the sauce in the pan I while I was cooking the chicken. It helped tame the overly lemony (and I lOVE lemons taste while adding flavor to the chicken.
    I found that tying the chicken with that cooking string helped keep all the contents in and I loaded the chicken with the stuffing.
    This definitely took more than 30 minutes, more like an hour but was worth it!

    Easy gourmet, though the filling makes more than just two chicken breasts.
