This was a visually fancy dish that tasted great. I think it would be helpful to know how many pounds of chicken to use. Chicken breasts vary greatly in size; I had three giant ones, so they could accommodate 1/3 c. filling. I can't imagine trying to stuff that much filling (and folding chicken all around it) in a smaller chicken breast. I also thought this desperately needed a sauce, perhaps a simple white wine reduction. Next time I would not serve it without that. Folks at the table thought this was delicious!

Followed to a "T" - only change with I added EVOO to the butter. This is distinctively blue cheesy! I will make it again in the future, and I will try using other kinds of cheese. Thanks for the recipe SrtaMaestra! P.S. - my oldest (7 y/o) liked it, the others (3 and 5)...not so much.

Whoo-Hoo ! Recipe sent to me by my Shoebox Mystery Swap partner ! I am not always dextrous enough to form "pockets" and "rolled" filled recipes, but this was very simple and clearly directed. DH and I enjoyed this tonight with Swiss chard from the garden and sour cream/dill mashed potatoes. Sadly, my blue cheese was not Wisconsin, but the sub was a delight. Thanks, SrtaMaestra, for sharing. It is a keeper !

Outstanding! This is a dish you would expect at a 5-star restaurant. This is so creamy and the chicken is so tender we cut it with our forks! The directions are spot on and the only changes we made was 2 servings and we used pecans. A definite must try recipe, thanks so much for posting!
